Still putting out a few little fires. Whenever you make big changes it always seems like you miss something or you add a new feature that adds a whole new level of complexity, and then the plugin gets itself into states that you did not foresee. That is what makes this job fun, you get surprised once in a while.

Please feel free to send me any additional bug reports or feature requests. I think we've just about wrapped up the stair module for a while.
