The new version is the official one. It was written by a fine author, who knew what he was doing, and who was certainly familiar with my earlier (quite unofficial) work in Tales #13. I am entirely happy with what he has come up with.
I would encourage you to use the official version where possible, and to adopt and adapt whatever bits of unofficial previously-published material you enjoy using. This shouldn't be too hard.

The Glorantha Book is right, and supersedes my writeup in Tales #13. But Issaries can't "police" your games, and if you want to take the same idealistic view of the place of women in Loskalmi society that I came up with earlier, more power to you!
