;-)  I hope you didnt take that the wrong way - I was impressed
with 2.0.5 - but 2.1.1 is a great piece of work and I would recommend
people to give it a go.  certainly we cannot find any issues without
enough users :-)

..so this would evolve into 2.1.2 etc at perticular times...

..the bleeding edge.  makes sense

its those pesky little niggly things that crop after after the
release - they've been lurking around each release for a while
now. could almost guarantee that the second 2.0.x or 2.1.x
was released on the web server, there'd be a little quirk or
thing wrong that was so facile or trivial. anyway, enough eyes
on the release candidates and we'll be sorted :-)
