Exclude the version that comes with 4.1.2 and fall back to 2.6.7. But, I think it's the responsibility of us, the users, to iron out the bugs in the expressionCompiler. I mean it's the least we can do. The benefits far outweigh the current issues from my perspective and Jesse's more than willing to fix any emerging issues. Everybody wants it, but if no one but him is willing to put down some effort, it'll never be finished.
