Hi Daniel,

According to http://www.beanshell.org/docs.html, the documentation is
still for 1.3.

According to http://www.beanshell.org/download.html, 1.3 is the latest
stable release. The following release is 2.0b1 (beta)... =ABLatest, beta
but stable, release=BB.

There also seems to be a lot of 2.0b1 specific bugs:

I'll upload the next stable release as soon as it's ready.

Cheers,
