I need confirmation from PhilC that 1.0.1 will work with WW before I release it. I'll contact him via site mail in a bit, just in case he's stopped reading here. As soon as I get his green light, I'll let you know and release 1.0.1

Can you ask him if hip/hip2 changed to waist/hip is necessarily preferable to hip/buttock?

 I think the latter is better as far as compatibility goes (poses, walk designer).  As I said before, I also think having an actor named hip that is not the root bone will cause all kinds of confusion.  People are used to doing translation and rotation on the hip actor, not the waist. As you saw on the walk designer, the hip translation keys that are meant to raise and lower the entire figure end up causing stretching and compressing of Antonia's non-root hip.

People WILL try to use pre-canned poses on her and when things don't work as they expect some will likely complain in the forums as to what a crappy figure Antonia is (sad, but true -- I've seen it before).
