As a general rule, downloading head on a github repository is not equivalent to getting the latest release. Head may contain changes not yet released (and perhaps not yet fully tested).

That is, in this case, they are the same. > On Jan 16, 2021, at 8:28 AM, Kevin Davis <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I think I'm tracking now.
