./ means current directory. Linux never looks for binary files to run in your current directory the way other OSs do, it only looks in the path. That's why you always need to add the ./ if you want to run a binary in your current directory.
Yes, Mystic 1.12A46 is released. It's a done deal now. 1.12A47 is still
a work in progress and there will likely be many new ones (prealphas) before A47 is released.
Are you stating that he continues to modify that a47 build and I shou check back to make sure I'm on the newest date??
Yes, once he has done what he wants to do and tested that things are working according to plan he'll release an A47. At some point he'll release a 1.12 final but that may take a while.

This is a basic how-to learning for me to. Thanks :)
Just to add to this, yes James creates multiple builds of Mystic when theyare in pre-alpha.. one reason I'd suggested build dates were added some timeago to the tear lines.. it makes it easer for all to know what version isrunning on someones system :)
PATH="$PATH:."
This is not the linux, or unix way.. ;)
Best if folks just use the ./ method.
Just don't tell them about: alias dir='ls -h' ;)

That way you know when you misspell ls on the command line. ;)
