gnome 2.8.1 release

[Jean Noel Cordenner <jean-noel cordenner bull net>]

hi,

I've downloaded gnome 2.8.1 source rpm and  noticed
several differences  on gnome2-user-docs for instance
which size was divided by 30 between 2.8.0 and 2.8.1

gnome2-user-docs-2.8.0.tar.bz2      14-Sep-2004 06:30   29M 
gnome2-user-docs-2.8.1.tar.bz2      16-Oct-2004 18:19  1.0M

and also on libxklavier
libxklavier-1.02.tar.bz2            13-May-2004 00:47  288K
libxklavier-1.04.tar.bz2            23-Oct-2004 13:29   14

Does anyone have some info about it? Is the 2.8.1 release 
reliable?

Thanks 
Jean noel
