53Although there are no known bugs, it is to be
54expected that the current version @value{VERSION} is not as stable as
55the 1.2 version(s), since major changes were done to the @sc{Singular}
56kernel. Therefore, it is important to us, that users try out this new
57version and tell us what they think about it. Thank you very much in
58advance for your support.
