Anyone knows the reason of this very stealthy re-release?

Given this fact I would have expected a new HardDisc4 build for 5.30, but we didn’t get one. Looking at the Miscellaneous downloads page, we did get a new 5.30 HardDisc4 build on 9th May (i.e. too early) but the self-extracting 5.30 HardDisc4 build is still dated 23 April. Odd, that.
