So? This is correct. 1.3.3.14 is the stable version. Those that wish to use a newer version can feel free to do so. > Nobody is going to write a book about a dev version.

The official manual for 1.3.3.14 is still quite applicable to 1.4.0 so I would still say it is worth buying. Once we release 1.4.0 I am sure there will be a book that appears. Craig
