+1 I would really like to see p2 leveraged (the way it was designed to) to make it really easy to push fixes like this out to the community in a controlled but swift manner. - thomas On 2014-11-02 11:07, Max Rydahl Andersen wrote: On 31 Oct 2014, at 19:56, David M Williams wrote: I am not sure if this bug was discussed directly on this list, or, just some of its predecessors, but, we have an official fix available for anyone impacted by Really appreciate the work for fixing this nasty subtle bug.
