Thanks for that reminder, it is slowly coming back. I have to look at the
'ben' file snippet again and see if the current pre-release version number
can be made to fit so that we do not have to wait for 4.0.0-1. A strict
greater than the current 3.6.3-2 (plus wiggle room for updates to this one)
may do, or an explicit '>= 3.6.3.20200326' to include today's version.
Sage advice always welcome :)
Dirk
