Given that the latest released version is still 180.29, and that nothing
later is listed even in their "beta drivers" section, this is likely to
cause nothing but confusion and frustration unless a better explanation
is provided.

(Also, I'm using 180.29 with an earlier SVN revision, and - aside from a
few quirks which could easily be attributed to a mismatch between
CPU/GPU power and my monitor size - it works just fine...)
