But I am annoyed at the way they've been done. It breaks the existing API all over the place and this is a minor release. It was certainly unexpected to me. I am using the pre-test so it's my fault I guess. But anyone who isn't tracking this and depends on the package API will be very surprised when the new version lands. Nic
