Oh, really? I am trying hard to avoid this, as obviously may cause lots of confusion. May be happened in past, but at least for now shouldn't happen. > There have also been some re-issued official releases (including 1.18) using the same names. If you mean this message, http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=rmiprg9hau3.fsf%40fnord.ir.bbn.com that was just my mistake on preparing the release and a wrong cache configuration. It was fixed in hours. Sorry for the inconveniences. But anyway those things happen and it is hard to avoid them completely. Today I have replaced the tgz file in sourceforge because it was corrupted. It is part of the task of mantainer. >How are we to know if the package we are using (and re-distributing) is the official release? You may use sourceforge. But I think I was sending a message to the mailing list announcing any official release. Here you have the announcements, as posted in sourceforge. http://sourceforge.net/news/?group_id=26279 In the mailing list archives should be the announcements too. I can see announcements at least since1.15 Regards Marti Bob Friesenhahn wrote: > On Sat, 4 Apr 2009, i...@littlecms.com wrote: >> >> But for the rest it is ok, please make sure to always use lcms full >> distributions.
