Because we want 1.6.3 to be 100% functionally equivalent to 1.6.2 so that testers don't need to redo the work.

All the new functionality will be included in the next major release, not in a maintenance release.

Dann, I really appreciate your tweaks but could I ask you, please, if you are going to post a modified version (binary or source) please, do use a different name or release number so that it is clear to anyone that it is not the official SF.

As you have for sure noticed with 1.6.2 there has been a bit of uncleanness and was not obvious to everybody what was from us and what was from you.

Thanks in advance
Marco
