Yes, I am quite a long way behind, at version 1.4.1, which is light-years in git-time! Unfortunately, since I can't pull from the git repo (I don't have internet access from Linux), I won't be able to update until the v1.4.2 tar-ball is posted. Yep, not exactly ideal.

OK, for now I will refrain from contributing, at least until v1.4.2 is out.
Sorry for the noise.
