Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2008-08-26 23:11:23 EDT

This was due to an API change in 3.2.18, but I thought an update went out fixing it up

Comment 2 James Antill 2008-08-27 01:15:27 EDT

 Due to recent events 3.2.19 has only just been released, so I'd assume it'll hit updates-testing in the next day or so.
