Just this week I ported an app from MP1 to MP2. I'd been meaning to do it for a couple of years but never got round to it. This week I finally did it. It wasn't really a big job, but most of the work involved changing package names. Now they have all changed again
Anyway, I know the decisions were not taken lightly. I'm not posting to complain, merely to share the irony of my timing. Thanks to all involved for your continuing labours on an excellent tool.
