307.1 issue?

I have updated to 307 with no issues, however, I wanted to use pl.xml to parse an xml file as you do in your weather applet(thanks for these examples by the way they really do show how to use the scripting language better than any manual).
I believe to use this I need to update to the 307.1 beta for the penlight uplift, however, I have tried to update to this beta three times now and whilst the update appears to go ok, after reboot the HAH is dead.
I can easily reflash back to 307 and all is OK.
Not sure if there is a problem or just my system but thought it worth a heads up
Ill have to leave well alone for now as I can't risk loosing the heating for too much longer before I get the SWMBO giving me grief!
thanks,
garry

Gary just because the google
Gary just because the google source tree says 307.1 that does not mean I've posted it up as a beta. Although I have now, so you should be good to go with update-dev. I just flashed Derek's livebox and it worked, thankfully, as its a bit of a commute to Glasgow from where I am now to fix it!
The beta version that was previously there had a bug which would lock up your livebox, ( as you found out ) this was the final thing that I needed to fix before releasing 307, I must have pushed this buggy version up as a beta and forgotten to take it down. (sorry about that).
Anyways you can get the beta with
# /etc_ro_fs/update-dev hah-beta.dbzoo.com
It includes an uplifted penlight library and a weather plugboard applet.
NOTE: There are some changes to the penlight library and if you have custom .lua code there are some things you'll need to adjust in the code. Below being an example of an adjustment I've made in various internal libraries. - remove this, +add this.
-class = require("pl.class").class
+class = require("pl.class")
If you are your own boilernode.lua I suggest you replace it with the built in one in 307, this way when you move to 308 this adjustment will be taken care of automatically by me.

Gary that is strange as I'm running 307.1 and had no problem flashing it. I guess you don't have a console cable so you can tell me where it gets to before it becomes "unreachable?" I've not even pushed this up as a beta release yet so you must be compiling the same source code as I am.
