I don't see why current should be pointing to 4.2 at all, since it
isn't "current" in any sense of the word. We have yet to release
4.2 officially (do we have counts of how many people install each
version?) so one could argue that it ought to point to 4.0 instead.
And on the other hand, the "current" version should be 5.0 :)
In any case, my friend did test it on his machine and reported no
problems...
