Well, I read something a bit odd by a chap called Jon on the Rev use-list about supposed bugs in the 2.6 documentation.
And, being the sort that finds it awfully difficult to keep my mouth shut (no, surely not?) I thought I would bung in my few cents worth: Being the proud, new owner of DreamCard 2.6, I find myself returning repeatedly to RR 2.0.1 to consult the Transcript Dictionary - Why ??? - because, in my experience it is considerably SIMPLER and MORE RESPONSIVE than the HELP system in 2.6 which, I feel, suffers from a type of FEATURE BLOAT. Maybe, the HELP system in 2.6 needs to be 'chopped up' into lots of interconnected substacks that will not slow things down so drastically. My development machine is a G4 Mac (dual 1.27 GHz, 1 GB RAM), so not quite as slow as some computers - but when I open HELP in DC 2.6 everything grinds to a halt. So, ran RR 2.0.1 in the background until I worked out how to extract the Transcript dictionary and import it into the RevTools stack of my DC 2.6 --- not totally satisfactory, but it will do at the moment. Certainly, the Transcript Dictionary (and other parts of the RR 2 help system) work lika a charm compared to 2.6. Might be something to do with the eye-candy, might be something to do with 2.6 suddenly using an awful lot of RAM.
