Sidenote: forge.joomlapolis.com/issues/2407 is only a problem on php 5.2. I upgraded my build to php 5.35 and it went away.

Right, but we still support 5.0 so need to revert to something more reliable. Also not all hosts compile with datetime which is unfortunate. It's a class also used by Joomla 1.6 so those not on up to date PHP should be weary of this! Don't know if J1.6 has a backup function.

Free AFTER as part of my subscription which was NOT free. But here I think YOU missed the point.
It's not about weather I PAID for it or not, it's about not necessarily letting us know that while it IS available, it's not truly ready for prime time, so don't expect it to work on a live site as you may expect it to!

Please don't misunderstand what I'm trying to say here.

I am, have been and will continue to be a 100% PAYING supporter of the entire project... come hell or high water...

Your support is GREATLY appreciated. Lets all remain civil here, no need for arguments. GJ 2.0 is indeed NOT free; well suppose it could be given its license, but that's after the fact. Being first release there is bugs, it's an oops on our part for releasing directly after security review instead of doing another beta (I was asleep, so my 2 cents were missing on releasing or not ). Anyway, things are being fixed and am trying very hard to release tomorrow!
