Hi,

might be a good idea to mark this in the TER description, though. I got 
thoroughly confused when i tried to set up sr-feuserregister the last 
time because of 2.5.6 bugs. maybe a link to the latest stable version 
would be a nice idea.

Thanks for explaining this rather unusual way of handling versions, though.

Regards

Moritz Rogalli

P.S.: Got thoroughly confused again looking up "thoroughly" in the 
dictionary. ;-)
