> Then why is the XML soft-takeover code in this branch?
The branch is called softTakeover. I added the XML and MIDI scripting implementations to this branch. If you're uneasy about using it before we have multiple <options> support, just don't tell anyone about the XML option. The version in MIDI script is fine to use now.
I was planning to update those mappings for a 1.9.x release, yes. It doesn't have to be 1.9.0 though.
