Technically, no. Real life, yes.

vendor.xml always needs to be deleted unless it's a release directly from your provider.

Almost spilled my morning coffee on myself. Here we are waiting patiently for a point seven something and there's a .81 waiting for me. Thank you and good job K9, you've made my day! Too bad I've got to go to work,

. You all know the drill -- post how it's working for you.

**k9five0** · 09-25-2008, 07:07 AM

LOL Exelant, I think I drank too much coffee hence the 4am finding

Crikey Mates, she's up and runnin... In the spirit of Australia I couldn't resist but so far so good after the install with no initial complaints.

**Crucial_Xtreme** · 09-25-2008, 07:52 AM

There shouldn't be any problems really. This is the last of 4.5. So enjoy.

Thank you for that awesome find K9! CX, thank you for that bit of insight!

**eBud** · 09-25-2008, 09:11 AM

So I've been running the much-anticipated upgrade (for days) and didn't know it? Oh well...now I can exhale and wait for whatever.0.something to come along. Kudos to K9!
