That’s horrible. The user also checked the version on our site, and
since it was 0.7.5, too, he or she used the SF link.

I think we should take this as a strong cue to at least release 0.7.6
the next few months, and then increment the version number *at least*
whenever there are changes which can cause older versions to no longer
connect.

I think that’s infeasible: We’re a free software project. We cannot
force people not to share our software. But we can ensure that this
version-number confusion does not happen.

Best wishes,
