Well the (pre)release version DID match the source code at the time it was tagged/released. And of course the next versioned minor pre-release will match the source-code when it's tagged. I'm not sure I'm following you. We've had one pre-release so far (0.8.900). Bugs were discovered and fixed. We are now preparing for a second versioned pre-release. In the meantime, there are a few Linux users who are now building from the development source to take advantage of those bugfixes (as is their perogative). Windows and Mac users are of course free to do the same.
Doitsu's advice was basically, "there are some bugs in the first pre-release. You may want to wait until the next pre-release version." There are no "bad habits" in play here. There's been no release that doesn't match the source code. Nor will there be. Surely you didn't think we were going to upload an updated windows binary to an pre-existing release?
