Nothing. You missed nothing exactly the same for me.
You missed that the latest release on Github is 6 days old, only the master branch being worked upon has all the above issues fixed and it's used for the guide. Its release could happen tomorrow.
Okay thank you. As the guide didn't specifically mention that the master branch was to be used, I simply downloaded the latest release. Now the latest release behaves as described in the guide. Thx again.
