I noticed this the other day... I think it got corrupted on the upload
from my laptop, wireless dropped, others were okay, however there is
no way to remove them for 24hours after the files get published as
SF.net don't allow you to do it yourself, they do it... and I only
noticed two days before the final release.  The final release is out
now, and the zip file is just fine now :)

Would rather hold off until the middle of the week after, that way we
get major feed back first, before we start pulling stuff out.

You also missed out the important... saves space :) I don't use all
the locales I have installed, I think it makes the sm install huge to
have them all installed when not needed. I think with them all it's
10MB, without it's about 3MB... :)

What do you mean?

Maybe a wiki page for the new stuff... we've got to start overhauling
the documentation soon anyway :)
