remove the old 'mvc' folder - examples are not changed yet - add the 'di' package inside the mvc2 package - which will be renamed to 'mvc' on the next commit - new mvc.Application and some dublications removed - The new version will be version 9 because it will contain breaking changes (not to the end-developer's controllers but to the API they register them) - get ready for 'Christmas Edition' for believers
