Hi;

Thanks for this release.

2 questions:

Has anything changed in the demos?
(Since they do not have a version number, it is difficult
 to know if they need to be downloaded again.)

What does this random generation refer to? Initialization
of the models, or some alternative parameter generation logic?
Is that described in a particular article?

Thanks;
                                  -*- Sacha K. -*-
