I believe that there is a plan to have an update file available in the 
future, instead of needing to do a full install, but that is hard to do, 
since there is so much that is worked on between versions.  These fixes 
are module wide sometimes, so it would be hard to just install the new 
files.  It could be that 50% or more of the module coding could have 
been updated or tweaked between minor updates.


Hi :)
I heard/saw somewhere that although there is currently a rapid and frequent (ie 
very aggressive) release cycle at the moment that there is an intention to slow 
down to 6monthly releases at some point within the next year or so.  Personally 
i just stick with an older release (3.3.1 on most machines) but if i need to 
upgrade i tend to try to fit the downloads onto Cd or usb-stick so that i can 
carry it to various different machines.

There is rarely any real need to upgrade.  Just because it is there doesn't mean 
you have to use it!
Regards from
Tom  :)

PS i just checked and my current Ubuntu is on 3.3.2 somehow, magically.
