What I am sure of is that the only version of Heimdall that I've gotten
working with my own device (T989) is 1.4rc1 with a small patch.  Neither
1.3.1 nor 1.3.2 would work for me.  And upstream has said in various places
(though not on the front page) that people should use 1.4rc1 as the "most
stable" version.

So for my own purposes, I'm confident that I'll be better able to support
1.4rc1 than the other versions.
