So there's no need to worry anymore? Widgets can be accessed from any thread? Very cool. Is there backwards compat with 0.6.8 though? 0.6.8 is so widespread that I wouldn't remove support from my app, and the thread calls for a while though. Removing the threading calls would make the code a lot prettier though.
