Yes, the Maxima numbering system is misleading, isn't it.
It turns out 5.9.3 is substantially different from 5.9.1.
If you're not already using 5.9.3, I recommend it pretty strongly.
We should probably make a bigger change in the version
number in the next release ...
By the way, thanks a lot for helping out on IRC.
You are brave & kind.
