I'm happy to test.

There were only three points I noticed about this version:  1) it
doesn't respond to my mouse wheel (logitech) 2) the viewable scroll area
doesn't exhibit all of the text for the ssmtp module and 3) selecting
source for a dozen or so modules never gave the tickbox option of
downloading source.

Congrats on a very nice job.
