Sorry, I've been AFK for moving and stuff. Thanks for the recognition, although I'd argue that I didn't do much. I suppose it is time to begin testing again. ^_^

I don't want to rush anyone, but is 2.8.1 expected to be released soon? If it is, I'll wait around for a few weeks for it. Otherwise I'll just install 2.8.0 this weekend.

Thanks.
