Scott,

Other than some initial hiccups in getting plugins installed in the  
new structure, I've been very pleased with 2.7.  The use of anti- 
aliasing makes a big difference to some of the graphs that my program  
uses.  I also like the fact that the plugins are generally (other  
than for runtime inclusion) now split off from the program itself,  
which should make upgrades less painful.

I have to say though, that I wasn't hitting any real issues in 2.6.1  
either, so I guess I don't stretch Rev as much as others do!  I'm  
also developing under Mac OS X - I don't know whether the situation  
is any different for those developing under Windows.
