Hi Max,
thanks for taking the time to draw up a plan :)
I'm very much in favor of a release very soon; sunday's fine with me.
As can be seen by the number of workarounds needed to get the
mergeFile() stuff into D2WModel working again, supporting pre-5.2.2 is
really a pain in some cases. In this case, we were relying on
mergeFile() actually getting called, super.mergePathURL() is not
available on pre-5.2.2 so I opted for re-implementing mergePathURL().
Of course, this sucks and I'd really like to remove that code again...
Cheers, Anjo
