I'm not sure why it's changed... an accident, I expect. Can you send me 
an example of how it's going wrong and what it should be doing? If you 
can patch the script yourself and send the patch, even better ;P

We're working on it: it's a long road but I think almost every framework 
issue is done (I know of two remaining ones) and the last blast will be 
on validating lots of new analyses. I can't really put a timescale on 
it: 3 weeks ago would have been nice, and I definitely want it done well 
before Christmas, but I'd rather get it right than early... achieving 
both at the same time has so far eluded us!
