That is the version I happen to be running, not the version I would ask for it to be added to. I am quite happy to wait for the new feature whenever it appears, it would just make my life even better if I had it.
Are you saying that when submitting a feature request rather than reporting the actual version we are running you want the latest version available selected? If so it might be an idea to add a note to that effect to the page or to remove the version number from the page when requesting a feature as it is obviously redundant. David > > Craig
