Hi Phil,

I agree it's a big improvement. Thank you.

I have a simple suggestion: make the  "use the latest version of PyQt5 no
matter what version of Qt v5 you are using" much more visible. It's buried
at the moment. For example, even a minor change like rewording "An
Explanation of Version Numbers" to "Understanding the Correct Version to
Install" would make it much clearer to the uninitiated.

Damon
