Hi,

Thanks for pointing those out and sorry about forgetting the bugs.

But now it seems that 1.36 contains a bug that causes trouble with a lot 
of projects where macro is used inside macro. So we will need to do a 
quick bug fix (done already) and release 1.37 in a next few days.

To save your time, I think we should skip 1.36 and wait for 1.37. Unless 
you think we should release 1.36 anyway? And also considering that 1.36 
might be seen as unstable version compared to 1.35.
