[Dev] Wing users: 2.1 beta seems good, and get the patches.

[Bryan Stearns]

I mentioned in IRC last week that the Wing folks had announced 
availability of the first beta of their 2.1 version.

Since then, I installed it (just on Windows), and:
- I wasn't able to get the new Subversion integration to work, though 
that hasn't bothered me since I prefer TortoiseSVN and cmd-line svn anyway.
- I like that they've separated searching the current window from 
searching on disk - that always bugged me.
- I found a problem with disk searching (it was slow because it wasn't 
excluding filtered-out directories, like .svn); I asked about it, and 
they posted a patch over the weekend.
- I noticed, but someone else reported, a problem with copy/paste in the 
search dialogs - that's patched too.
- Wing now has an automatic check-for-updates mechanism, which offered 
me both patches this morning - yay.
- I've been watching the wing-users mailing list, and people are finding 
& reporting bugs pretty rapid-fire; that said, I haven't found anything 
that blocked me from using it.

If you feel adventurous, you can download the new version from here:

(It either doesn't require a license key, or uses the existing 2.0 
license - I don't know which.)
