first thought: Oops! I'm already subscribed to that list, am I that 
stupid that I have read an announcement of VNC Enterprise Edition 4.2.5 
but already forgot it? No, I am not ;)

Just took a look at the archive and couldn't find an announcement of VNC 
Enterprise Edition 4.2.6. The last announcement - the only one this year 
- was from Mon May 15 12:37:39 2006, but version 4.2.6 is definetly 
newer and was not announced there.

Will new versions containing security fixes not be announced? I thought 
they would, since on http://www.realvnc.com/lists.html there I found: 
"The VNC Announcements List is a moderated forum for occasional 
important announcements such as the release of a new version of VNC."

The question now: What is a "new version"? A change in the version 
number X.X.X to X.X.Y shows, in my opinion, a new version. Am I wrong here?
