Do you know whether:

(1) The whole 90+ MB has to be downloaded, or is there an incremental
update patch?

(2) If the whole prog needs to be downloaded and re-installed, can one
install over 2.0.2, or should the existing installation be uninstalled
first?

Re. 1. Uhm, it's worse... it's 92 MB now

Re. 2. Can't tell you at the moment; I started the download, but had to
leave, and the download was frozen upon my return 10 minutes ago, so I
had to re-download the whole thing again. I will install it later tonight
over the old one; but I guess - in order to keep the user settings - that
is what is expected!

Funny... I received the notification of the availability of the stable
version just prior to posting te message here; at the OO page they do
mention an unstable version though, perhaps that version is the oneyou
mean?
