Hi,

on the webpage by programmer Per-Ola Valfridsson (Ruffian 1.0.1) and in Arena
Setup files (Ruffian is a Arena partner program).

If we realease a new Arena version I write mails to all partner programmers and
asked for newer versions. I believe Per-Ola is thinking that is not the time to
release the newest Ruffian version.

Best
Frank
