When I ask support several months ago if when they were going to put
an update on the web site they told me they don't do that. Bug are fixed
as they are found (reported, I have found several). You have to ask for
a new build with the fixes in it. Like several others have noted it would
seem like updates would go on the web site once in a while, but maybe the
users have not spoken loud enough...
