0.9.40 is what I've been running lately.  0.9.42 and later has standard file
dialog bugs that popped up in another program.  Last time I tried running
CiderPress, I may have been running something between 0.9.30 and 0.9.39
(inclusive).

I have HFS+ support (and, by extension, HFS) on most of my systems now.  I
needed that so I could do firmware updates of my iPod from my Mac mini
instead of a Windows box.  (About all that was needed were some extra kernel
config options and mac-fdisk.  diskdev, now that it's been ported from Mac
OS X to Linux, would also be useful...see

for more information.)
