Oh, I forgot to remove that warning from version 3.6.3. Please install our latest dev release which addresses this issue.

Sorry, can you clarify exactly which one I should be using as these all seem to be alpha.

Please bear inmind I am on PHP 5.2

Will this solve both issues?

All dev releases are labelled "Alpha" no matter what their actual status is. It's to keep innocent users who have no idea what they're doing from downloading a dev release instead of the stable release. You have to download svn1692. It's the same as 3.6.3 plus a few bug fixes. It's about to be released as 3.6.4 next week.

Normally it should solve both issues. If it doesn't, please post back and tell me which extension(s) you tried installing and failed.
