Do you have any words of caution for those of us who are already using ITCrossing's metaPost plugin? Specifically, for DNN installations that already have metaPost plugin,

would the 3.05 update cause issues (because 3.05 also contains WLW support)?
Does the 3.05 update contain all the features in metaPost? For example, Image Expander, Link Expander, Footnote Expander, Multiple Tabs support etc?
What is the suggested path to migration? Can 3.05 co-exist with metaPost? Is one preferred over the other? If yes, which one and why?

Hi Subodh,

on my test environment the 03.05.00 works fine with the metaPost Community Edition. You can easily switch between posting to mP or to the blog directly by using a different address in WLW. You can create two accounts, so that you'll be able to use both. Regarding the features that mP adds, it's you to decide what to chose. Auto expander, tabs, etc. are metaPost functions that are not included in the core module.

Best regards,
Dario Rossa

Thanks Dario. Phew! thats a big relief.

BTW, looks like either somebody forgot about the Blog 3.05 release or... the Dog has been really hungry ... still eating food ?
