Hi,

there is a regression in the 2.9 release:

Replying to [comment:6 bartvde]:

I also think that a 2.9.1 (or 2.9a) release would be the right thing to do. In my opinion, the best way to do so would be:
* create a 2.9a tag
* replace contents of http://www.openlayers.org/api/2.9 with the 2.9a release (but do not change the path)
* announce the 2.9a release, pointing out that people using the hosted api do not need to change anything.

This 2.9a release could also contain the release in the VERSION_NUMBER tag, to fix http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/2589.

Regards,
Andreas.
