      It has been committed to CVS already so those using CVS builds you already have it.

      The 0.2.22 version has?

      The reason I ask about the 0.2.22 version is that it is pretty recent compared to the original 0.2 version of the script released on May 18th.

      yes (although he left the version number at 2.16 in the file, only the folder name has the correct version numbers)

      Sounds like with this update you can now export/import a model… lol.

      I tried exporting a Collada .dae mesh from Irredit and Blender said it loaded it but there was nothing but an empty mesh. The .3ds file Blender exported from it was invalid. Please describe who is at fault here. Me, Blender, IrrEdit, or the Collada plugin?
