If there is an official release of source (e.g. 2.5.5 and 2.5.6) why aren't binaries produced (other than to make it really hard for users and force them to upgrade to a later major revision -- 2.6, 2.7, etc) ??

It's ok for Linux distros as they tend to build from sources, and test, and produce their own binary packages. But for OS X and MSW users it's not quite like that. I'd like to upgrade to 2.5.6 (for one particular mature application), but unfortunately I'm stuck with 2.5.4 as I don't really want to have to build (and hopefully get it right) on my OS X box.

Cheers, Brendan.
