Sorry, for the confusion.  It’s really just the package version not the program 
version. There has been a load of minor package adjustments. Many packages had 
files moved around, some had program and/or metadata translations language 
translations added. And still more had url and other metadata updates and 
corrections. 

All such packages, that needed any other that got either an “a” or “(rev A)” 
tacked on tho the version to prevent any confusion on which was newer. 

I think Edlin just got some metadata translations for things like the 
description.

It’s 2.18 + the extra metadata (i think). It will become just 2.19 when I 
update the repo package to the latest version.

I hope that you don’t mind.

I can always pull the version called 2.18a once I can update it up to 2.19. 

Just let me know. :-)

Yeah, this was kinda similar. 

It gets to be rather trying to have things like version 1.0 from Feb, version 
1.0 with stuff moved around from Mar, Then another 1.0 with spelling 
corrections in the description from Apr. 

I hope you understand.
