That is partly true :) If you have downloaded a binary from one of the TB
and you don't have the txt file, how do you know from which TB it came from?

I know there is always a workaround. But isn't it easier to just have the
computer generate a simple txt file? If this functionality already exists
(and works as expected, as proven by TB #47) isn't it possible to adopt this
as a default procedure for all TBs?

Ok. But what is the difference between 42 and 47? Also, what should people
test in IA2? Is it on by default? Is there a hidden switch to turn it on?

This brings me back to the question: which build should users download? Is
testing IA2 important or are there  features in the builds from the other
TBs that are more crucial/urgent to test?

Cheers,
Pedro
