I can understand that.

You'll note that in my table I had 5.4.whatever and 5.4.whatever+n :)

That sounds good to me.  At first I was thinking this info might not

all that easy.  It was probably in the announcement, but that's not
part of the distribution.  You have to dig around in CHANGES-beta.

Anyway...
