Hi,

I am new to Radiant, so I decided to start with the mental branch. None  
of the stock behaviors seem to work. Is there a link where the behaviors  
have been updated or notes for making modifications?

Mental replaces behaviors with page types. So instead of inheriting from  
Behavior::Base you now just inherit from Page. Most of the methods and  
techniques from behaviors should work in the same manner.

Hey John-

I think I heard mid January as the release date for Mental. Is that  
still accurate?

Thanks-

Possibly, though at this point it may be a bit latter. There’s a good  
bit of work left to do before the next release (mostly work on the  
upgrade scripts) and my schedule may prevent me from putting the time  
into it that I would like. Also, I’m waiting on Rails 1.2.

That’s what persistent and obnoxious contributors like us are for ;).  
I’ll probably have some more patches for you soon!
