but I dont understand what could have possibly changed between the

and the latest tarball.

I greatly appreciate it.

and BAM! and a change comes along - what may/may not be a significant 
change.

I agree.

I am up for you guys releasing the Mac installer.  There really is not 
much of a difference.  Use the ones from
the old tarball.  We have had inconsistency before.  I think the 
important part is to get something released.
There are bugs.  We need to inventory them and get another release out, 
2.0.1.

Make a release as is - I am not against that.  We need to get people 
testing.  Need to get an announcement.
Need to get closer to closing out the bugs we find.
