GIB doesn't play drury. This raises the issue how forcing a 2/1 by a passed hand is.
I just defended against GIB making 2♦+4 after this auction:
pass-1♠
2♣-2♦
pass
Opener had 18 HCPs so apparently it thought 2♦ was forcing. I think it should be, even in Acol 2♦ is forcing nowadays, and presumably a passed-hand 2/1 promises more in the GIB system than in Acol.
A similar issue is how forcing a 2-level freebid is. I saw this auction:
1♠-(2♣)-2♦-(pass)
2♥-a.p.
I would think that a 2-level freebid should at least be forcing to 2 of opener's first suit. But maybe this 2♥ bid is intentionally defined as NF?

The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket

After passed hand 2minor natural maxhand call, but none-forcing bid, opener's bids below rebidded opening (likely 2♦/2♥ if opening spades ) are limited 12-15TP.
I.e.
P - P - 1♠ - P
2♣ - P - 2♦ - New suit -- 4+ ♦; 5+ ♠; 11+ HCP; 12-15 total points
Bidding this with 18HCP should be a bug in previous version and fixed in v26(current one).

This is horrible. Opener has to jump because holding 16 HCP? Now he can no longer show 5-5s below 3nt. We want you to fix responder passing new suit by opener, not make opener jump to make responder bid again.
