Hi,

Reasonably sure they were but given the test are running on a timer and not 
when stuff is checked in it'a hard to say with 100% certainty.

Sure it looks like a recent change either the AC stuff or the item renderer 
stuff has broken something.

Because:
- Changes were made in develop that were needed in the release branch
- Only the release branch is tested so for a RC to be tested it must be in sync 
with develop
- Given infrequent releases we need all the fixes :-)
- Cherry picking is too much trouble and causes all sort of other issues (eg 
merging with trunk)

Thanks,
Justin
