My own personal guess is of course that the entire Tools directory needs to be swapped out (and save the files i wanna keep) and check / change all the files that was affected in the latest build but i can't be certain.

There were also changes to core and scripts, so I think you'd be better off migrating your changes to 1.1 beta. You could do that by comparing your project to a clean 1.0.1 (WinMerge does a great job at that, just launch it and drag the directories to be compared onto it) and then making the same changes in 1.1 beta 3. It would work best if you created a patch - WinMerge can do that for you - although many changes will need to be made manually, as affected files might have been renamed or moved. Good luck!

after a entire day of converting stuff i agree without WinMerge.
Making this convertion without this program in a manual environment would be torture.
