Updated my test board (locally), no issues so far with all of the extensions in development there installed.

Group helper methods - New group helper methods have been added that will allow easy access to e.g. get a group's avatar

I guess this needs to be documented, poked mrgoldy about.

[mrgoldy]

Where should I document those?
Or just write a small posts in the Ext Writers forum or something?

And first post has been updated.

Great,
I thought it would be useful to let people know and then note down in the changes the addition of the user interface for ACP mass-emails.
