Hi Burt-
It sounds like there is not a real smooth upgrade path from 0.2 due to the drastic improvements that have been made here.  Am I way off base on that?  I'd like to get on the latest rev with spring security 2.0, but don't know if I have time to work through the implementation again at this time...
