Hi all.
After a 3-days course, mostly on Processing, I must say this is not really the case:
several modules did not work in 2.0.8, while they worked in 2.1.
It would be nice to clear up the situation, and provide a more predictable
environment for users and developers alike, but I imagine this would have to be
postponed to post 2.6 release (unless we can profit from the extra week we have for
fixing & testing).
All the best, and thanks.
