Hi Joel,

I get an eMail notification from you guys as to a new release and I install it.
You fix a ton of bugs (EXCEPT ENVELOPE BUGS), so a new release is always met
with bit of joy.  (A software project that "actually" fixes bugs -- who would
have though.)

I download from your standard download page.  (My customer use both the Linux
64 bit and Windows versions so I carry them both on flash drive to install when
I see them.)  So I am sticking with the "repositories".  If these are meant to
remove prior versions as you implied ("you'll never face this problem"), then
we should move this back to a "bug" and not an enhancement.

My complaint was not with x.x.0 upgrades, which you actually do upgrade, it is
with the x.0.0 and 0.0.0 upgrades.  3 to 4 was a real pain in the neck.

As far as "chatter", be glad I caught it before your user's hard drive fill up.
 Everyone's /opt directories will thank you.

-T
