   riq, do we need to remove the old templates before installing a newer build, or simply run the same scripts again?

   If you thought memory management was tricky in Objective-C, wait till you get a load of memory management in blocks!

   yeah, this sound like something that should be used very carefully.

   I have downloaded and installed 0.99.2-rc and re-compiled some of my apps and it rocks :)

   Thanks for CCFollow especially and I will read up on blocks but can't see any obvious need to use them for now.

   Love your work as always, Riq :)

   I think there might be a problem with the new camera (or CCFollow?).

   Here's my scenario:
   When in "normal view", I am running the CCFollow action:
   

   [scene.game setScale:1.0f];
   [self runAction:followSpaceship]; //This works as intended

   However,I have a button where you can zoom out (scale) the map, so after I do that, I want to restore the camera to its original position, and make it stop following the spaceship:
   

   [self stopAction:followSpaceship];
   [[self camera] restore];
   [self setScale:0.1f]; //Camera isn't centered where it should be and is offset badly.

   The above doesn't seem to work though. The camera is not restored to its original position when I scale the layer.

   Surely I am missing something simple with this?

   Thanks,
   Sunsu

    I think maybe I completely understood what CCFollow did. I thought it moved the camera, but it moves the layer underneath the sprite you are following?

    @sunsu: Yes, exactly that. the CCCamera object should only be used to perform 3d effects, and nothing more that that.
