I bumped the OP to Beta 9, and I updated all of the links, and the changelog, and other information, there. All of the fixes discussed in this topic should be in the package now.
@Chris Miller : Could you adjust the topic title, please? I think that this is a forum bug, but editing the title for the OP no longer changes the title displayed anywhere on the forum, unless a Mod+ does it. I simply need the '7' to become a '9'.
