Geoff:

The Windows engine included in the new Components folder (with the latest
download) appears to be the same engine as was available with the previous
release of Rev...meaning, it does NOT include any of the fixes available
through the new release. This is NOT the case with the Mac engines, which
look to be new. For those of us that have actual products in the
marketplace, it's important to be shipping the latest engines, as the engine
is totally separate from the development environment (which has clearly been
updated for Windows).

Could someone from Rev comment on this?

Thanks.
