It just seems odd...why they call them both public release, and they list the lower number first for downloads, and the higher numbered one crashed our system last time...
Now I guess we want to test both versions, since higher should be better (if it doesn't crash the system?) and the first bug fix listed says they made it faster?
Version 122 seems to work, maybe we should run the 'early release' versions in production!?
