No, Maxim, what I mean is that the version that the RL customers and potential customers can download from the main RL download page is version 3.5.30, and version 3.5.30 (to the best of my knowledge) has no BayesIt option. My understanding - from a huge amount of discussion on this point over the last few weeks - was that we were trying to get a better version of TB on to the RL Web site for users to download - a version that includes BayesIt. Maxim, when you posted the MSI for 3.51, you wrote that if the MSI worked, then you would update the download page and "proceed to other fixes". Surely you must have been thinking something similar when you wrote that. Furthermore, you indicated that the only additional change in the 3.51 MSI was "some charset issues of the latest 3.5.xx". You did not indicate that you were introducing new charset issues but only fixing issues that presumably had been reported in 3.5.36 (or thereabouts). So, pardon me, but no one could have guessed from what you wrote that this MSI was going to be the beginning of another round of beta testing (preliminary to an official release). Rather, the only thing you asked us to check was whether the MSI "worked", which it did (and which I also promptly reported to be the case). The MSI worked, but you did not do what you stated you would do, that is, "update the download page"... for very good reason. So what happened here? Did RL lose sight of the fact that the beta testers felt some concern about the missing BayesIt in the public version of TB? And why did you present the 3.51 MSI as if it was the end of a beta testing cycle when, as it now seems, it was actually to be the beginning of a new beta testing cycle? -- jaywalker Windows XP Pro SP2 and The Bat!
