I must say, this is all very confusing.

Benjamin, the thread you posted has the last post listing this:

The source code of the "first build" (the first link) refers to
version 2.1.9 but the "second build" seems to refer to 2.1.7.

This is the confusion. Are the version numbers going backward? There's
a ways to go until version 0.0...
