This is really not a big deal, but I am planning to make a release this Friday, or by the end of the weekend at the latest (Pacific Time). I really should be doing releases more often, as they are intended not so much to be an end product, but rather to be a convenience to readers who would like to see something recent, but who do not wish to install the LaTeX machinery required to build from source. In contrast, an edition is intended to have consistent look and feel and a minimum of "under construction" sections. I hope to put out an edition around the middle of next year (2019). Being as I am frequently guilty of forgetting this distinction between release and edition, I have added the following to FAQ.txt. Thoughts? Thanx, Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10. What is the difference between a "release" and an "edition"? A. A release is a snapshot provided for readers who would like something reasonably up to date, but who do not wish to install all the pieces of LaTeX required to build one themselves. Every few years, there will be a special release with more-consistent look and feel, and with fewer (and preferably no) sections under construction, and these special releases are called "editions". Also, as noted earlier, each edition has a version that may be more easily printed.
