While Monticello should work fine, I want to make sure everyone is aware 
it's in much earlier development.  I just fixed a sorting problem 
yesterday, and the fileout format will likely continue to change for a 
while.

When the fileout format changes, you essentially have to re-fileout all 
your packages again, which makes everyone else who works on them update 
Monticello, which means they have to re-fileout all the other packages 
they work on, etc...  so I can't guarantee stability at the moment.

Still, if you'd like to use it, it's great to have more people testing 
it.  And the model is pretty darn stable, it's just the fileout format 
that isn't.

And yes, I too have seen the problem of the Changes button not working 
but it does sometimes.  I haven't ever figured out what conditions 
determine whether it works or not.
