@jantimon thanks for the heads up -- I had a different comment here before but I was chasing a red herring. All good. I'll release a version compatible with 4.0.0-alpha.2 soon.

Preliminary compatibility released in 1.1.0-rc.5.

I'm planning to release 1.1.0 proper soon, perhaps timed to coincide with the HWP 4.0.0 release if that's not too far out?

[jantimon]

I'll let you know 👍
