The patch is currently in test. The development team tells me that this is NOT
guaranteed to be the final patch. They have addressed all of the major bugs (and
most of the minor ones) that were reported. They tell me, however, that although
the "infinite analysis" feature is in an apparently working, it is probably
going to be held off until the next patch.

This patch was mainly designed to make sure that everybody who currently has
problems (as well as those who may have problems when they fire up the program
for the first time on December 25th) will have a patch ready to download.

New features (i.e. the infinite analysis) is not high on the priority list of
those who make these kinds of decisions; they would rather make the program less
buggy and don't want to risk tossing in a new feature that may cause new
problems. Therefore, infinite analysis will likely come in a later patch after
it has been more thoroughly tested.

This patch will probably go live early next week.
