So? This is correct. 1.3.3.14 is the stable version. Those that wish to
use a newer version can feel free to do so.

So? Who wants to write a book? The official manual for 1.3.3.14 is still
quite applicable to 1.4.0 so I would still say it is worth buying. Once
we release 1.4.0 I am sure there will be a book that appears.
