Original posted ahd pointed out that thee was two versions of the same file
one
as WP389.ZIP and the other WP_389.ZIP.

I was wondering what is the 'official' version ?

If updates are not frequent it is not a problem it is just in the past some
one
used to do a beta update almost every day for close to a month - it was
tiresome
and most user just did not update weekly let alone every few days.
We have other things to do unless a major flaw was found in which case I still
programmer should do better testing before doing a release .

Just my view point but from being hired as a contract/freelance doing testing
at
senior and lower levels both auto and manual testing and no I am not looking
for a new role.
