Thanks a lot for this release.

Is the experimental multicore support enabled in the Linux binaries?
(I guess probably not, but also couldn't find and option for enabling
it in SConstruct). Are the Linux binaries built with the new parser?

I tried the Linux installer but it crashes with a segmentation fault
(this is using Ubuntu Hardy).


Cheers,


Hector
