Excellent. Thanks for the speedy testing, and great feedback. Responses
inline.

This stuff got moved to the new location at some point in the mono
release cycle. It's non-critical at this point, until Jon Pryor decides
to remove the old locations. I need to dig up when the new location for
Catalog was put in place, and figure out if it's reasonable to depend on
at least that mono version for muine, so the change can be commited to
CVS (and yes, it's an easy change once it's decided we should do it).

Yeah, see the SongChange discussion in the "New release soon?" thread.
Seems we're *almost* there with getting the behavior for these events
right.

It is not. AFAIK, it's something only Jorn has access to currently. I'm
going to be talking to him soon about getting access to it, or move it
somewhere central or..... well, soon about what to do about websites
stuff in general.

Fun with breezy. I know Brandon (tseng) is handling all the dapper
stuff, I don't think he's doing backports like this at this point, so
cool.


Thanks again for the feedback,
