Do you mean backward binary compatibility (i.e. programs compiled against 
4.1.13 will work with versions 4.1.13 and later)?  Note that we officially 
don't support binary compatibility in either direction in the 4.1.x series, 
e.g. a symbol may suddendly disappear between two releases.

I don't know.  The ChangeLog would be tiny (attached).  The only significant 
non-OS X change would be the fix for the FLI player, but it is unfortunately 
still untested.

Ok, we could make a release for MacOS X.  I'll personally be leaving on 
Friday for about a week, so we could target the end of the next week.
