I think the 1.6 betas are coded with a different framework, so that could explain it.
What I don't understand is why the 'experimental' 1.6 version was open-sourced but not the stable earlier version.
shame, because 1.5 appears to be the most stable as of now.

Then you could make your settings either for the inidividual chops or for multiple chops. So great and quick.
Shortcircuit 2 I preferred for creating my own drum sounds from samples. Stacking multiple kick drum samples on one key and then assigning a low pass filter to one kick and a high pass to the other to create a blended kick drum. So fast and efficient.
I don't know why, but most software samplers make it totally cumbersome do get the job done. Claes definitely knew what he was doing. He created the perfect samplers from the perspective of someone who actually wants to work with samples creatively and intuitively, without having to click to various menus.
Shortcircuit belongs in the audio plugin Hall Of Fame and I would love to see it open-sourced or re-released eventually, so that we don't loose this gem.

Surge being Open Source now means that (very) few people will take on it, work on the code in their free time, and the development pace in general will be very, very slow. I don't know if Claes' license would provide that someone makes a payware out of Surge again, but, development pace surely would be a lot quicker when that happens. I don't know if that is really in people's interest, though.
Frankly, personally i can't even be bothered to install Surge, when i take a look at all the issues people report for it. Maybe in a year or two, when someone dares to put a "final release" tag on it. Although i'm not sure whether or not that would mean that it is remotely in "final release" state, and usable. Welcome to the wonderful world of free, community driven Open Source software.
