Is it just me, or is 4.5 a bit buggy, especially with mel? I can't seem to "connect to next available" in the connection editor (v.annoying to have to type in the command to do it), and just small stuff like not being able to align text properly anymore when building a UI. anyone else found lots of little bugs?
the example code for making a button in the docs (the bottom of the button mel command docs entry) doesn't even work...
so far, 4.5 has been a frustrating upgrade...
Me too!
There's no such thing as "connect to next available" now... even with the -na flag for the connectAttr command.
I have to connectAttr with [numbers]...

Which nodes and attributes are you doing this with? What error do you get? Array attributes by default do not work with Connect To Next Available...they have to be specifically compiled that way.
Why won't this work as usual?
connectAttr -f -nextAvailable directionalLightShape2.lightShadowFraction plusMinusAverage1.input1D;
// Warning: Can't specify -na when connecting attribute 'directionalLightShape2.lightShadowFraction' to 'plusMinusAverage1.input1D'. //
Even right-clicking in the connection editor doesn't give you a "connect to next available" option now....

Please post this as a bug on aw's site. It is important that they know about this.
Man, I can't even begin to imagine all of my scripts that are going to be broken in 4.5 .
