Isn't the documentation better than what has been released? In other
words, if you release now, how could you make things worse? If something
does turn up during a check, you can always release again...

Releasing is still somewhat tedious, and I don't want to ask people
to do several substantial downloads & installs.
So far, a major navigation bug has been fonud in the test version I
posted (just now fixed online); *thats* why I don't like to release
too hastily! I don't think waiting two more weeks is a problem.
