@rio Grande Citizen: please check your plugins page, as version it should say ‘1.4.19-beta’. If so, you should get an upgrade notice when the new official version is out.
@robthecomputerguy: testing dev versions is always needed and appreciated. The WP people do not test or approve plugin updates, they stay well away from that ??
The ‘wait’ is because:
a) this is a totally non-critical issue, so a quick release is not needed and
b) 3.7 is only just out and 3.7.1 is now already released, which confirms there are some issues with the 3.7 release. There may be issues which impact WP SEO more seriously and it’d be better if those are found/reported and fixed first.
