Charles,
Say what?
This package showed up at Mirrors.rcn.net yesterday, and I downloaded and
installed it without incident or complaint using the previous-generation
Setup.exe (2.125.2.10).
By the way, if this sort of dire warning is associated with a new release,
shouldn't the announcement go out before the package itself?
