Actually that's not correct. You only need to delete your .Inline/ or
_Inline cache directory, and then rerun your script.
Here's the long story:
As you know (or should know) Inline uses a special directory to build
and install in. Typically this is '.Inline/' or '_Inline/'. Inline looks
for this directory in several places and if it can't find one it creates
one.
>From time to time a new Inline release will come out with an
implementation that is not compatible with older ones. So if you are
using a .Inline/ directory from before, you will need to delete it and
let Inline create a new one. All of this should be pretty painless since
Inline does everything automatically.
In fact, I often will delete my .Inline/ directory just to force
everything to rebuild.
In time, Inline will become stable and will remain backwards compatible.
Remember, Inline is still 'beta' status software.
