Oh, I didn't realize that hadn't made it into 1.8.0, but I see it was  
only made on trunk. This change should be merged back to the  
release_1_8 branch, and then it will be in 1.8.1, whenever that is  
released. We have no particular release schedule. We have a few  
permissions issues still to resolve with non-root installs for which a  
new 1.8.x release definitely will be made. Not sure if we'll wait  
until we fix those to release 1.8.1, or release a 1.8.1 sooner with  
the fixes that have already occurred and let the permissions fixes be  
1.8.2.
