Thanks for the comments on version names. Hope this one won't cause issues as it's just a tarball release.

We'll try to avoid that in the future releases. -Goden On Thu, Dec 24, 2015 at 9:47 AM Konstantin Boudnik <[email protected]> wrote: > Returning from a bloody battle elseproject, I'd like to give a couple of > words > of caution.
