Back in the old days, people would pitch in. If anybody wants to do
this, it's "just" a matter of putting 3.16 into the same form as 3.14.
The directory tree with subdirectories, the help file and update notes,
and so on. That is, updating all those text files.
I'm not sure, however, if anybody still has the tools needed to
build the program from source, so it would be a chore to remove
the Beta notice (should that be desirable). Maybe the binary can
just be patched.
In any case, I'm not aware of any serious problems with 3.16.
