To get this, should we use the 2.0.18 branch or still master?
I switched to master a while back but it seems that not everything is pushed in the 2.0.18, so that's why I ask. (I haven't check the commits for the past couple of days, so maybe the answer is already there ).

Linc

2.0.18. We now branch for releases at the first beta.

I sure hope this one was packaged correctly.

What?

Referring back to when RC2 was released but it was the wrong Github package or something like that.

luc

Thanks Lincoln, then I'll switch to that.
