My worry was that there might be security issues involved, and if so, such information should be revealed in a manner that iRex could influence, particularly if there are time dependencies involved (such as 'fixed in the new release which will install next week so please wait until then').

I passed my general concern on to iRex, and learned that they have no problems sleeping at nights over this; that extra piece of information makes the question a non-issue for me. I learned, as Alexander just has pointed out, they will release the information themselves, along with the SDK, reasonably soon.

I underestimated iRex :-) -- I have no problems with that: then, I hate to learn that I overestimated anyone on a security matter.
