Yep - 1.0.1 is the one you should use. The recent release is 1.1, but
its a week old, and there is an update coming.
You might want to make sure that you don't have 0.72 - there are no
guarantees that the jump to 1.x will be compatible at this point (it
should be though), and you might not want to get users using something
that will need a major change.

The point is to give credit to all in the community who worked hard
making Velocity work. Its not a major burden.

I *knew* you were doing something like that. I remember your messages
asking to have strange references like
$1d6
