I read it as including the new info, but failed to guess that you
meant also including the old info.  I assumed (oops) that you meant
updating it to include *only* the new version information, not
considering that these fields would be free-form text.

This solves my dilemma.  I will update the relevant release fields
to include the latest version with which the alleged defects have
been reproduced as well as the original version against which the
defect was reported.

Thanks.
