This appears to have been fixed in 0.2.0 which was just put out a couple
of minutes ago.

I already noted that, I know I should be aware of that.

I fully agree.

But I still think it is worth noting so 'morons' (;-) like me will
(superfluously) be tipped off in advance of the upgrade.

I can't be the only one out there that thought; "hey, why is there this
option in config that let's you install extensions globally? Why should I
have two instances of tt_news, will it not be cleaner to have one? Ohwkay,
I'll just update the global one." I'm not the only one testing shy and
unstable code?

But then again, maybe I am . . .

Maybe you can consider noting something like; Beware that installing a
new version will overwrite all globally installed modules (which you may
have updated).
