Hi there,

I see you're fixing bugs asap as they got mentioned. Thats great, really, BUT:

Could you give us some feedback when to get new versions of mods? Sometimes you post "fixed. do a syncmod" in the bugreports-forum, sometimes not. Sometimes, there is a new version of the whole package available, sometimes not.

Ok, I could do a syncmod on a daily schedule, but when I run some code of mine after that and got issues, I have a real hard time to figure out the mighty 3: WHAT, WHERE, WHEN.

Maybe you could track version numbers for each module and post them in a new forum (single threat for each mod). Each time you fix something in a mod, leave a small note in the moduleinfo-part of this mod and increase the version number in the mod and the corresponding threat. So we can have a quick look into that forum, see a (new) behind a module-threat and make a syncmod or not as we see need for it.

Don't get me wrong, I (and I think everyone) appreciate the speed you fix issues, but please make it more transparent for us.
