You might notice that I did not ask him for the version precisely because he supplied it.

No one seems that interested. I suggest you move the > "alpha port" back into "under development". Rather than being insulting, you might get better results if you stated your problems more clearly. As to alpha/18808, I'm afraid I don't understand the problem you're having & cannot duplicate it. Perhaps if you were to ammend the problem report with some sample code, somebody might be able to address it. Can tell me why I cannot duplicate the problem?
