It has been a while since liquid-dsp has had a release, so I was
concerned that the software would be out of date and just chose the
latest commit from their git repository. In hindsight there probably
isn't much cause for concern though so I will change it to just the
latest release.

This description was basically just taken from the project's GitHub
page. My apologies, should have checked over it more. I'll change that
too.

Thanks for pointing these things out. I'll send a revision through shortly.
