Just to understand: if I'll break forrest 0.7 with a change to some plugin I'll need to create a new version of it? > How do we make a release?

We use forrest at customer's sites and I simply would like to point them to the download page and say: get the latest release (update). It's hard talking them into svn and stuff :-) So, are the updates to the released forrest-0.7 brought back to the binary distribution at http://forrest.apache.org/mirrors.cgi ? As far as I see: No. If yes we would need sub-versions like 0.7.2, right?
