Another point would be the fact this is really an experimental version
as such, and might have been better to have had it as a beta zip and
leave the last known working OPro zip available for anyone not wanting
to play/experiment with the ARM v7 version.

All new versions are experiments (!) - seriously, the three changes I have made are bug fixes to the existing version for Iyonix. One of them is a bug fix for the Windows version and non-32 bit ARM.

The situation is different to the move to 32bits when there was a load of fiddly new ARM code that might have crashed on older machines.

Users of older ARM architectures gain from the new version.

You make a fair comment though, and potentially the recompile might have upset something - but that's back to all new versions being experimental.
