Most of the improvements this revision were from our contributors, so a *big* thanks to AJ, Byron, Chris, Evgeni, Joar, Nathan, Odie, Rodrigo, Thomas and Tommo (did I miss anyone?) as well as all our awesome past contributors.

Also, a big thanks to the companies using Moai (you know who you are) for sharing your feedback improvements.

There is a breaking change in the Box2D wrapper. See my forum post.

There's more on the way. Expect to see Revision 4 along with more documentation in a week or so.
