>There's one small inconsistency on the download page. In the Quick Info table it says 'Version: 8.0a' when in fact the version is 8.0.0.3109

To explain this better, 8.0a is the version, 8.0.0.3109 is the build number. They are not the same thing. Since we are releasing the provider as a free download which can and will be updated independently of the one that is included with VFP, we need a version to identify it.
