And 5.1.5 will be released this week, right Jeremy? I am really eager to have this update. It's got some great stuff in it. Also I am eager because I have used some of the define newhere bits you emailed me, but they don't seem to work in 5.1.4, only in my copy of the prerelease of 5.1.5. This new version HAS been in the works for a while, so don't keep us in suspense forever! :-)
