Okay, this is annoying.
After uploading the patch for peer review, we found a pretty serious bug.
So we took it down, fixed the bug (go Steve!) and uploaded the patch again.
UH OH
Creator's club doesn't let you restart a peer review. You have to wait 7 days. Isn't that incredibly annoying? Apparently some folks were abusing the process by starting a few peer reviews in one day (a self-correcting problem, to my mind, as people aren't going to peer review for you if you keep restarting it.)
Anyway, victim of circumstances that we are, we had to "cool off" for 7 days before we could put the patch back into review.
Sorry folks! We don't like it either, but here we are. The XNA team has been such an incredible supporter for us we will forgive them this wrinkle.
Good news: 7 days is up today, and the patch is re-entering peer review.
Better news: you should see patch 3 :) We're calling it the "kodux" patch. (not really, but I just did, so I guess we are :))
If you're an XNA dev, please help us move the patch through peer review by downloading and reviewing the build.
Hey, XNA Game Studio developers, we need your help vetting Kodu patch 2 for live consumption.
