The local manual shows a picture of wiring the skeleton node to the geo node. I think that's where the confusion comes from. I take it a new release will fix that oversight.
Also it raises a question as to how to bind the geo to the new skeleton. I don't see a clear reference for it on that page. And my own conclusions show that biharmonic capturing probably can't be used directly, but only through some fbx round tripping, please tell me that I'm wrong!
