The other mirrors should have it shortly.

     There are a couple of minor bug fixes in this release, but my
motivation for releasing it now, as opposed to waiting for more changes to
accumulate, is a clarification to the bug-reporting procedures documented
in FAQ Z.3 (which I hope everyone has read--if not, go read it now) in
light of the recent spate of bad bug reports.  Saying "it doesn't work"
doesn't help anyone unless you say _how_ it doesn't work, what you did that
caused the problem, and what you expected it to do instead (it might be a
designed feature you weren't aware of).  Please be as detailed as possible
when reporting a bug--too much detail is far better than too little.

     As a rule, I ignore any bug reports, whether on the mailing list or
sent to me personally, that don't provide me enough information to find (or
at least look for) the bug.
