The reason is that the documentation files: KERMIT.UPD, KERMIT.BWR,
KERMIT.HLP, NETWORKS\SETUP.DOC, and so on, have not been updated to 3.15.
Packaging them with the 3.15 software would give the false impression that
they were current. Or to put it another way, 3.14 is still the most recent
coherent and properly packaged release.
We hope we can bring everything back into alignment when version 3.16 is
released, but we can't promise it. It is one of many things we would like
to do, but there are not enough people or time to do everything. However,
most users agree it is better to have 3.15 and the 3.16 Betas available,
even if not fully packaged, than not at all. Version 3.14 is available
for those who prefer a coherent package.
