I had the same question. I went to version tracker and downloaded version 2.1.3 installed it into another directory so I can evaluate 2.1.3 and not loose 1.7. It seems to be working. I did the same thing when 1.8 came out. it seems 1.7 is still the best, but I have only had 2.1.3 for a day or so. Things may change as I use 2.1.3 more.
