I know--the numbers represent the weeks after 5.0A was released; we were
using p42 before upgrading to 6.0.0. The patch releases never had the
"extras" that the incrimentals had (logging send/receive speeds, finger,
etc.) We went from p38 to 5.0Ai28 (wanting the extras) back in late
January, but after a day and a half of tons of complaints that many people
couldn't connect anymore (at all) and some could connect, but had lousy
performance, we we went to p42 (which wasn't as reliable as p38, though
only by a slight amount).
