this looks great! thanks for sharing!
[offtopic]I just removed the line about support in this topic, i like to try to keep the release topics clean from too many questions, makes it easier to help out if the support is separate!

[cisco_note]NO SUPPORT QUESTIONS IN THIS TOPIC. ALL SUPPORT SHOULD GO IN THE MODS SUPPORT TOPIC! THANK YOU![/cisco_note][/offtopic]
