Back in June I nabbed a copy of VM (4.11) off the net.  Today I
tried to install it.  What I saw looks terrific.  But...

Has there been a new release since then?  Because I ran across
several bugs in just a short time playing with it.  E.g.,
  => typing 'h' for a summary of headers appears to screw up
     something internally because most commands don't work
     after that.
  => doing (something) resulted in an emacs-error about the
     variable 'defautl-directory':  a spelling error in a
     variable name.

The VM mode looks really neat (like RMAIL did before I learned
what I didn't like about it) but I can't risk losing my mail
with something so unstable.  If anybody has accumulated a list
of changes since 4.11 I'd appreciate seeing them.

(Please don't tell me about 'ftp'-ing them from somewhere
unless you're willing to tutor a complete moron in that whole
ftp-thing.)

Thanks in advance,
