Ok, but for a release version I expect a more detailed documentation or 
more help from the 'official' mailing list than for a CVS version, 
especially if the change is not a new feature that has been added but is 
one that makes some action necessary to keep the functionality. If the 
CVS version claims to be a full replacement for the release version then 
it has just lost important functionality for me.
