i went to download 1.281 just now, and there i also see v1.272! 
what’s the deal? haven’t seen any info on this one, and it was apparently added to the userpages the day AFTER 1.281… confusing.
as many users asked to be able to download older ReNoise versions, the previous version has been put on the download page.
yes, that’s all good, but it says 1.272.
… is it a type-error, or have i totally missed that release?
I think it’s a next build after 1.271, with some fixes till it was tested in small bug-testers team etc, but without 1.28 additional options.
Its just a typo. This is the official 1.271 release.
