So, here's 6.0.2 today. The announcement email had some promising bits

Actually, what I found very strange about 6.0.2, is that there is no
official announcement about it anywhere on WRI web site.

I do not consider a personal "blog" telling us how cool 6.0.2 is to be an
official announcement of a product.

There are no release notes, no official description of changes made in this
release compared to previous release, no listing of bug fixed made, etc..

You'd expect to see a big link with large letters on the main WRI website
about a new release (even if is a minor release).

This is something WRI needs to improve (I find it strange for a company
whose been doing software for more than 20 years not to do something so
basic when it makes a software release).

I wanted to upgrade from 6.0.1 to 6.0.2, but since I am not on a premium
license, I need to pay for this one, and I am not sure what is new in 6.0.2
to see if it is worth it for me to buy a new version or not (I am a
student), but with no official detailed release notes, I have no idea really
what is new, I have to read what people say about it in news groups instead
of an official release notes from WRI.
