Tested so far, briefly, on the following:

Mac OSX 10.4.6 (PPC) + Python 2.3.5 (built-in version) + wxPython 2.5.2.8
Windows XP SP2 + Python 2.3.5 + wxPython 2.5.2.8
Windows NT     + Python 2.3.5 + wxPython 2.5.2.8

The OSX install is fresh, the other two were upgrades where I 
uninstalled 0.8.1 (XP) and 0.8 (NT) and then put 0.8.2 on. The only 
issue I had was with the XP 0.8.1 uninstall - it reported that a number 
of files and folders couldn't be removed, so I manually deleted them.

As you can see, my Python and wxPython versions aren't exactly cutting 
edge and will probably remain that way for a while.

So far, no problems. Things still seem to work :-)

I don't see multiresourceEditor.py - I think it's actually layoutEditor.py ?

Grats and thanks to Alex for learning the ropes on getting a release  
out and doing the work this time around. There are actually quite a  
few more little bug fixes in this release than the release notes  
might lead you to believe so I encourage everyone to upgrade and then  
let us know what is still broken so that can be fixed ASAP. Try out  
Alex's new layoutEditor, the tabcodeEditor, etc. and give us some  
feedback.

Thanks,

ka
