Yes, you did, and in my mind that was perfectly OK. So too was calling
it version 5.0 as far as I was concerned. I basically consider the wiki

fleshed out more, with higher voted "enhancements" added and removed as
developers see fit, critical bugs added, etc. I just thought it would
better than digging through emails.
