Hi Kevin, The version number mentioned in the README file is an oversight. I have just fixed it. Thanks for mentioning this. 'maint' was the old name we used for the stable branch. Starting with 5.0 we decided it would be more clear to use 'stable' as name for that branch as 'maint' was a bi

The way we manage program help has four serious problems: 1. It's separate from the program--not even in the same git repository--so changes to the program are seldom reflected in the help. Very little of it has been touched in the last 10 years. 2. It's largely monolithic which makes it resist
