Maybe yes but
- I didn't announce it yet as usual
It was announced on the web page on Aug 29, no ?
- the Web pages still point to the old 6.4.5 version

I did that earlier today in a README next to the tarball.
Will now edit the CMS announcement and update the download pages to
point to the new 6.4.6 (I meant to do that earlier, luckily it did not
happen yet :) )
Ops! I did change the link in the main page of the wiki some days ago...
sorry... I thought I was helping with that :P
Youn were, don't worry.
Both Windows and Mac links are still for 6.4.4 in fact (what happened to
6.4.5 ?).
And if the only announcement was on the web page and nowhere else, I
think we can live with it.
