Hi Dennis,
I did respond to your email on the 7th. Maybe it wound up in your spam folder? At any rate, apologies for the delay - things have been a bit busy the past several days. I'm currently building/testing the data type patch, and hope to upload it to unstable today. I'll file the unblock request once that's done. Since we're in the freeze, I'm going to hold off on applying the test regen patch for now, but I'll add it eventually. Best regards, Bill
