It looks like the package work was dropped on the floor about two months ago. Hopefully a reminder will shake something loose. In the meantime, I can work with 2.7.0.

Hi Alexander -

Nice! Many thanks! It looks like the package work was dropped on the floor about two months ago. Hopefully a reminder will shake something loose. In the meantime, I can work with 2.7.0. It will do the job I want done.
