Yes. Unfortunately we don't have a newer version out yet but as I 
announced earlier I am confident that a lot of silly bugs that you 
really don't find when installing as a developer in a sandbox will have 
popped up and been fixed.

That would make it worthwhile to release 1.5.1 within 2 months or so. 
Those who really need those 3 files are probably *much* better off 
downloading 3 files then an entire ISO (including the x-week wait). ;^)
