 Many thanks Alan for checking/verrifying !

(OT: Yes, sun still shining over here, but as it's 
usually the case, one longs for what one 
doesn't have... After this one being the hottest 
summer in more than a decade, with 3 major 
heatwaves striking thus far (last one was Lucifer, 
started end-July and lasted till mid August - temps 
as high as 39C during the day, not below 31 during night) 
I can say without the faintest hesitation that 
I'm fed up with the sun shining, could well do with 
some Manchester weather for a relief... And do keep 
in mind that over here real winter starts towards 
the end of October... :-) )

 You are welcome. 
I genuinely don't mean to sound unpleasant, 
but this current situation of bugs being 
discovered after a major public release 
is a direct consequence of the way that 
the on-line "develop" GitHub repository 
is being currently updated (i.e. only after 
a major "master" release takes place, and 
I recall this is something that you and I discussed 
in a previous exchange on this list..). 

 When the online "develop" branch was being 
(publicly) gradually committed to towards 
the next major release, advanced users/testers 
had the chance to test "unstable" snapshots 
of the code, which increased the likelihood of 
discovering and reporting (e.g. in the issues tracker, 
now no longer with us...) bugs/breakages 
in those snapshots; the dev could then hopefully 
iron out those bugs before a major release...

 Currently, fixing any (major) bug would necessitate 
a new master release, but if the dev feels OK 
with such a workflow, I fear I have no business 
at all discussing this... 

Best regards all, 
Vangelis.
