The stackFiles change shouldn't affect your stacks, because you were setting
the directory to be the same as the path to the standalone. As of 2.3.1B1,
the stackFiles of a stack are now located relative to the path to the stack
that they are the property of (in this case your standalone), rather than
using the directory property. Does that make more sense?
