I understand they made this release specifically so people would give it more testing. I just couldn't wait and I enabled it :). >> I think we should at least have an option to enable it. > Yes, it's what I have suggested in my first replied. ;-) Hmm.. the extra patch solved the issue for me but it was indeed a quick fix. I personally feel little motivation to do more if it doesn't reflect in the final package though. What about adding an option but enabling it by default? ;). Otherwise I guess we can just close the PR and wait for a new version. Pedro.
