That's true. You are probably just too late this time around. It is an interesting idea having release to release patch files, but I am not sure what would be involved. On the subject of versions, if you do not have the correct matching base package version installed then FlightGear should give a message like this: "Base package check failed ... Found version 0.9.4 at: ../../Base/fgfsbase Please upgrade to version: 0.9.5-pre3" That is pretty straight forward, so I doubt you are seeing a mismatch. I suppose if somehow you had an issue with autoconf (the version number for the program is set in configure.ac)... This wouldn't make much sense. Why don't you experiment a little (look at your configuration, etc) and maybe even change the number in the "version" file to see if you get the message. Perhaps there is a bug there.
