Hi Tracy,
I'm really sorry to hear that. 1.3 (and 1.3.1) have been a pretty huge jump from 1.2 — integrating the new API and adding caching. This is why we've continued to call 1.2.9 the stable version. Possibly, though, we should have been more vocal about which version is the stable version, so that people would know what they're getting into. Would that have helped you?
Hope to have you back soon.
Cheers,
Michael
