Hello Alain and others by the way!

I have not been very active on the list before, so I figured I'd 
say hi. :-)

I'm a designer based in Finland, and have been helping with 
design needs here and there a bit (the new website, conference materials
and booth signs etc) when kb and others have had a need.

Yeah. The newest installer seems to have the version number displayed
as text in the actual installer UI, which still shows the version number
but it is not part of the actual graphics. This of course makes it 
easy to, say, create a minor version update without having to touch
the graphics at all, if design resources were limited.
