There was a post a few days ago noting that the 2.13.34 version changed the \version line at the top of the file to 2.13.31. That probably made me think that nothing had happened since 2.13.31 was the version I started with. However; something about what I saw looked incomplete. I had done updates before and was expecting some indication that it had finished but never got one this time.

I really should reinstall 2.13.31 to find out what I was expecting to see, strongly suspect that I won't. Since 2.14 is now available, it probably doesn't matter, anyway.

If there is one word to describe me, that word would have to be "profectionist".
Any form of incompitence is an athema to me.
Metathesis??? Don't ax me.
Just between you and I, the grammar used by Americans are getting worse.
I can only help but wonder what the cause of this might be.
It just ceases to amaze me how it could be the case, but mostly I could care less.
