No, sorry.  We feel that configuration file changes really should go
through at least a beta cycle (in fact we generally prefer them to
go into an alpha release first).  The -P2's will have only the features
the -P1's have, plus bug fixes to improve stability and portability and
to deal with the port allocation problems.
