You really should have pumped up the version numer. To 6.05.1 or something,
maybe. Now there are two different but same numbered versions which is
confusing.

Even worse is that the PNG images appear to be corrupted. No any program
can read them, most complain that they "have corrupted by ASCII
conversion".

(The GNU folks mean good but if they insisted a fixed version instantly, I
think they rushed too fast. It could have been fixed in the next version)

And what comes to busses (that Al was complaining about), I can't get them
working either. Not with the new way you described a few emails before, and
not with the old way. Even if I load a small example
        http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~tuukkat/tmp/eltst-old.txt
that I created with Electric 6.04 and simulates fine with it, it doesn't
seem to simulate correctly with 6.05. I suppose ALS should still be in
place? I also didn't get internal IRSIM working, but maybe I just didn't
know how to use it.
