Hi Rob,

Although I am somewhat reluctant, I will try the new compiler that
you're recommending.  What is the best way to know when a new one is
released?

And can we assume that it has already had some level of testing before
being released?

These are not intended to be hostile questions, I am just concerned
about the extra level of 'unknowns' --   1) my own buggy code, 2)
Jallib changes, and now 3) the compiler itself.

Thank you,

William
