I have to ask this. I'm fairly new to the world of open source (and I like it) so I'm not very familiar how release work. I haven't done much with 1.3.5 because it is or has not been listed as the stable release. How soon will a stable release of 1.3.5 be available. Maybe that is hard to say. Just wondering. If I go to the download locations am I going to be able to tell which is the latest version with any fixes that I can try out. I just want to learn how to tell what I am looking at. I really like this app and appreciate all the work that has gone into producing it. I need to start playing around with 1.3.5 more.

I doubt the task can be completed until some while after 1.3.5+ is released as stable, and maybe then some. You can hardly expect the authors of the new manual, or indeed the developers of the software, to down tools because of printing and distribution problems that are out of their control. That really would be the 'tail wagging the dog'. Frustrating though these problems are, it is surely more important to ALL users, to see the swiftest release of 1.3.5+ and its documentation, than to have everything in the right order. In short, in the worst case, the prompt release of a stable and documented 1.3.5+ is FAR more important than getting a few $s worth of book.
