Did you read the -devel archives, too?  This has been discussed much
in the last couple weeks.

Well, DUH!  1.9 is still only a release candidate.  But you're still
more likely to get that working.

Again, if you'd read the archives you'd know that right now we can't
update the website due to technical difficulties.  We're hoping to
remedy those difficulties ASAP, but it's been a multi-month process.

You ARE correct that the wiki doesn't say anything, either.  You're 
welcome to update that yourself.

Well, go ahead and update the wiki, then.  Note that the problem on MacIntel
has nothing to do with us..  It's a FINK problem.  We cannot control the
fact that the dependencies don't work.
