It would be nice to have something for regular users, every now and
then ... version 2.5 has been in the works for years ...
  We know we are taking chances with an unstable version, but at the
same time everyone says it is not that unstable.
  But taking chances and having to learn too much is not the same thing.

Anyway, thanks to all ... I'll try.
