No worries; thanks for the update.

This is a good example of why I prefer to do most of my daily work with 
the most recent release.  The team's been making good progress on 
reported issues, and more often than not when I use the latest build I 
find things I'd reported against earlier versions now addressed.

And in those cases where an older issue remains present, being able to 
confirm that an issue hasn't been addressed through changes to related 
subsystems is sometimes also useful to note in that report.

A tool like LC is complex stuff, in many ways far more like an OS than 
any consumer app.  And like every OS, or really any non-trivial 
software, there will be bugs.  Working with the latest release offers us 
the clearest expression of the most recent state of the code base, 
greatly empowering both community members and core dev team members to 
identify and prioritize remaining work.
