Just a note since I see nobody responded in tihs thread - but there
was another thread on basically the same subject. Dave updated the
page yesterday I think it was, to add a date to the announcement. That
should make it clear that the current one being advertised is not the
new important one. Probably no point in doing much more than so until
we've actually pushed the releases.
