Hi Achim,

Sorry I thought I had dropped that in favour of mentioning it in release notes.

I know some sources have changed so may again be causing an issue.
I will review and release -2 when I get a chance so I do not forget in future.

Can anyone recommend robust tests for network and also site access that I could 
add?
