Re: No new Bobby Release: false alarm

Harvey, 

This is correct. We heard from several people at CAST on Friday that this
was not a new version, and that they are continuing to coordinate with us,
so not to worry.

Thanks to Sheela for checking on this in any case, and apologies to CAST
for the misunderstanding on our part.
