There seem to have been various incremental updates that don't increase
the version number; the one I'm running is the 19th March one.  You can
check this by getting the latest update from the website.

As a suggestion to David, it might be worth adding a alphabetic suffix to
the number if a 'full' version update isn't required.  That is: 2.77a,
2.77b, 2.77c, etc.  This seems to have become fairly common in the RISC OS
world, where an update to 2.78 isn't justified, and would be better
(IMHO) than several versions with just a difference in date.
