It is an optimized version from Raistmer, so not from Berkely.
Its using the stock codebase but compiled with a different compiler and optimized flags.

Where did one find that? Looked in all the usual places. Must have been in a forum thread.

Wow, I don't know how I missed that in the Applications list. I thought that 8.05(alt) was the highest they went to on Main Stock. I knew 8.08(alt) was over at Beta, but didn't think it had been placed on Main. Mystery solved.

8.05 was probably an earlier test version. Beta has an 8.08(alt) too now - it's 64-bit only, so is out of place in the list - and Eric doesn't usually change version numbers when promoting an app from Beta to the big time. He once said (but it might have been in a private developer conversation) that whenever possible the main and beta app downloads are separate soft links to the same physical binary file, to minimise the risk of mistakes during deployment.

Actually the 8.08(alt) app should be included in a new Lunatics installer IMHO at least as there are those out there that could greatly benefit from it. ;-)

Cheers.

Like i said the alt versions are from stock codebase and are all slower than those in the installer.
