Here are the version strings that are OK:
SNAP_16_1d
REL_16_1p2
REL_16_1p3
The last two are the same, functionally. There was a bit of a
miscommunication about the PORTREVISION, causing the patchlevel to get
bumped an extra time without any functional changes.
I'll add something to the web page about the version strings.
BTW, I personally recommend the SNAP_16_1d version, as it has a lot
of other minor bugfixes which are not included in REL_16_1p3. All of
the servers I maintain, including freefall and cvsup-master, have been
running the snapshots without any problems. I should probably just
make a new real release out of the snapshot and remove the confusion.
I've only been holding off because the documentation isn't the way I
want it yet.
