Can you post these notes to a trac ticket and post the number here? That said, Karim made it crystal clear to me that he very strongly recommends that we use: http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/unstable/pari-2.4.2.alpha.tar.gz He says calling it "unstable" is misleading -- it should be viewed like "debian testing", and said he'll actually be changing the name soon. Karim -- I've cc'd you -- if you want to add anything, please do.
