The 0.9.8a disk image has 0.9.8 on it, which of course finds an update on the net, to 0.9.8a, which downloads another disk image labelled 0.9.8a, which also has 0.9.8 on it, and the cycle repeats. At least on PowerPC.

Same issues for me, too. Tried many times 12/10 and 12/11 with the same results with 0.9.8 downloaded within the 0.9.8a .dmgSo developers: how do we provide your stated desire for feedbacks?
