Well the last previous major version switch (1.0 -> 2.0) caused several
significant changes, but the only totally devastating API changes like
what we are seeing here were in the debugger whose API wasn't finalized
in 1.0 anyway.

Some good news is that the comments to the platform UI folks last week
seems to have worked and they re-instated proper support for the command
scope so that our C/C++ commands and general editor commands (ie goto line)
work again.

I'm all for throwing weight around ... then again, I'm not really a heavy
guy so I don't get to throw much around very often! =;-)

Thanks,
 Thomas
