MC IDE 2.6b1 released

[Richard Gaskin]

The first beta of the MC IDE for engine v2.6 has been released to the 
Yahoo group:  <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MC_IDE/>

You'll find it in the folder named "Latest Test Version".  For clarity, 
the only file available at the top level of the Files listing is the 
latest release version.  Going forward, the latest testing version will 
be in the folder marked for that and all earlier builds will be moved to 
the Archives folder.

See the Version History section of Help->Licensing for details on 
changes to this build.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this build, especially Monte 
Goulding for his work on the Standalone Builder and Wilhelm Sanke for 
his work on the new Plugins menu.


KNOWN ISSUES
------------
In keeping with the tradition of the MC IDE, there are no known issues 
in the IDE itself at this time.  Your testing will see how long that 
holds up. ;)

There is one issue in the engine which is affecting the IDE, and may be 
correctable in the IDE:

Using engine v2.6 ("Revolution 2.2") with the v2.5.1 and v2.6b1 IDEs 
will cause error messages to be erroneously reported as "not an 
integer", regardless of the actual cause of the error.  In such 
circumstances immediately repeating the action which triggered the error 
causes the correct error message to be displayed.

This is categorized as an engine error because with any earlier version 
of the engine the same IDE does not exhibit the problem.  Yet there may 
be something we can do in the IDE to correct for this engine anomaly, so 
  if someone has time to look into it the effort would be much appreciatedd.

I started to investigate it this morning but my recipe for reproducing 
it is not consistently repeatable.  A consistent recipe would be 
appreciated as well.
