About this, AFAIK 2.063.1 is really what's in the release, but the
binary version number (and the zip name) have only 2.063. I think that
should be fixed and the real version number should be present in both
downloadables and binary. Also a micro changelog should be provided,
only with the regressions that were fixed.

And I don't mean to minimize the incredible breakthrough concerning the
release process in this cycle, just pointing out places were we can
still do better :)
