Confirmed; we'll get this fixed in a future update.

We'll need to investigate this one further.

I recently created a number of droplets for a massive data re-org that
I am going through right now and have found a couple of issues:

2) 2.42 breaks a droplet I had saved in a previous version (2.?) that
used some regex in the find and replace.  I have tested other droplets
w/ regex, but so far this is the only one that is broken in 2.42.  The
regex is -- (\d{4})[-:/.](\d{1,2})[-:/.](\d{1,2})
I was simply able to copy and paste the regex into a fresh instance of
Name Mangler and save a new droplet, but that one was a real head-
scratcher.

Thanks for Name Mangler!  I loves it.
