Ben,

As Gil said, we're in the process of converting the code and the underlying structures to "something better" (tm). :) 
We're working on the details right now, but it looks like this might happen within the next few weeks, so we'll keep you 
posted. In the meantime, try using the current code and let us know if you have any problems with it. Is your 
application motion planning or something else?

Cheers,
Radu.
