Perhaps the v1 switch mentioned in another post addresses this. I
imagine that v1 does not turn on old bugs. Is the latest documentation
clear about what features are in version one and what features have been
added or changed since? 

Perhaps it's time for me to upgrade. :-) It looks like there have been
quite a few bug fixes.
