Hi

Sorry if this a FAQ, but this updates report looks rather vague. The  
four statements all say that "in case of xxx, yyy /could/ happen".  
Wouldn't it be better to document what the actual bug in in the old  
version, as in "buffer overflow at xxx" etc?

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres  
intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å  
unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de  
fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
