That's not a problem. I'd like to keep pre-release changes limited to
documentation and bug fixes - no features added/removed. I've been working
to build/test all of the platforms I have available & have some small
fixes. But each time I add a fix, that's something else to re-build/test.

I anticipate a 2-3 week pre-release period since that's what was
requested before (and I've not done my taxes yet ;-). But if it's in
pre-release, we can dispell some of the bad press.

well, I'm not sure how much change this involves, so I can't agree/disagree.
