Hi Svobi,
   I agree from now on efforts should be directed to getting v 2.0 100% 
working - however we would not have got to v 2.0 if development testing 
had not been done by the community on versions 1.6 and 1.7.

   Unfortunately some features stopped working for some users between 
versions 1.6 and 1.7 (1.7 was a very limited release group). If these 
changes have not been regressed in 2.0, there will be users who cannot 
make it work with their configuration.

   So back to my first comment - I agree efforts should be directed to 
testing v 2.0 rather than asking for changes to previous versions, 
however where features worked in previous point versions but no longer 
work in 2.0 it is valid to quote these versions so that the developer 
can compare and see what has changed to cause any issues.

Cheers/2

Ed.
