No, you're wrong, again. Firstly, since the version checking code was
broken for a long time, people (like Christian Knoke) have been using
older versions without any problems. Secondly, even a cursory
examination of the gettext sources reveals that the only changes
between versions 0.10.36 and 0.10.38 are small bugfixes that are of no
consequence to us.

you should always do your own research.
