Markus,

when you look at the GRASS downloads web page there is no stable 6.4.3 that a user could see.
There is only 6.4.2 official release and 6.4.svn daily snapshot (is the latest day available
what the user should consider stable?).
The winGRASS website says 
Alternatively to the stable winGRASS package available here, you can also download daily winGRASS binary snapshots -
but no indication that 6.4.3 daily snapshot is preferable to 6.4.2.

As you have noted, the Downloads web page is quite confusing (more on that in a separate email)
and the versions and releases need to be simplified.
