Thanks, Stefan, Philip.
The page opened by the link actually has the last five builds with the
latest (from less than an hour ago) on top :-). I'm using the MikTeX
installation which I don't want to modify, so I extracted to a separate
directory and created a new shortcut.
This is off-topic, but while I'm writing, could you please explain why
issue 846 on setting the default font style is still open? There is a
workaround by hacking the windows registry, but I find the inconsistency
between Format/Font and Edit/Preferences/Editor strange. I would appreciate
it if it could be addressed in this release.
