The MC IDE is in the final stages of being updated for Rev v2.2.  Monte 
has generously donated his time to update the MC Standalone Builder 
(thank you Monte!), and the new Plugins Manager should be done next week.

In the meantime you can use the Rev engine for everything except 
standalone building:  just download Rev 2.2, and rename the app "mc.exe" 
for Win, "MetaCard" for Mac Classic, and for OS X you move 
Revolution.app/Contents/MacOS/Revolution to 
MetaCard.app/Contents/MacOS/MetaCard

If a warning appears noting a version mismatch just ignore it.  Scott 
used to update the IDE with each release of the engine, but now that 
they're on separate tracks the version check will be modified to only 
notify you if running an engine version older than the IDE requires. 
I'll include both the old and new Standalone Builders in the next build, 
so the IDE as a whole should work with all versions of MC from 2.4.2 
through 2.6 (Rev 2.2).
