Of course. And we'd have it for you now if we had been able to find the
time to do it. It's on the list.

Since we control both programs, there is not much chance of that.

Nobody said you shouldn't :-)

This is a shot in the dark, but what happens if you do it like this:

:
If there is a case where 3.13 works and 3.14 doesn't, then by all means
use 3.13 and let us know the details as best you can. We like people to
use the current version because it's hard to support multiple versions.
If there's something wrong with the current version, we'll fix it.

What can I say? We're all overworked and frazzled. This is kind of a
"niche" request, and we try to spend our time where it will do the most
good for the most people, but find it increasingly harder to please anyone.
Thanks to the Internet (which used to be a kind of "developers exchange",
but now has become a giant feeding trough) (sorry), the demands on our time
are exploding and the income that we might have used to pay more hands is
evaporating.
If we find the time, we'll give it a shot and report back.
