Description Mike Limansky 2009-02-07 23:33:46 UTC

The mentioned bug of 0.2.8 (and 0.2.10) can be found on upstream's tracker:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1739643&group_id=29314&atid=395778
Although it can be fixed easily (see patch in the comments in the URL above),
I agree that 0.2.11 should be stabilized now.
