Off-Topic BBC Tag 1.1.2 Installation of SMF 2.0 RC5

I tried to install the Off-Topic BBC Tag 1.1.2 by (Ha)² on a Simple Machines Forum (SMF) version 2.0 RC5 forum. The installation process reported errors for its testing, however.

Type	Action	Description

At Re: Off-Topic BBC Tag, I found a poster, JD82, had posted an update to the mod for 2.0 RC3. When I used the mod, when I clicked on Install Mod, I no longer saw any of the errors that I had seen above. However, I did see errors under Install in Other Themes for other themes that were available on the forum.

Type	Action	Description
Execute Modification	./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php	Test successful
Execute Modification	./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.swedish.php	Skipping file
Execute Modification	./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.italian-utf8.php	Skipping file
Execute Modification	./Sources/Subs.php	Test successful
Execute Modification	./Sources/Subs-Editor.php	Test successful
Execute Modification	./Themes/default/css/index.css	Test successful
Extract tree	./Themes/default/images

For each theme, I saw two "Test failed" entries for the file ./Themes/core/css/index.css.

Examing package-info.xml within Off-topic_BBC_Tag_RC3.tar.gz, I saw the following:

        <install for="2.0 RC3 - 2.99.99.99">
                <modification>off-topic_2_0_curve.xml</modification>
                <require-dir name="images" destination="$themedir" />
        <readme type="file" parsebbc="true">readme.txt</readme>
        </install>

That showed me that for SMF 2.0 RC3 or later 2.x versions, the installation process would use off-topic_2_0_curve.xml.

Checking the code it was looking for by examing the off-topic_2_0_curve.xml file within the Off-topic_BBC_Tag_RC3.tar.gz, I saw the following:

 <file name="$themedir/css/index.css">
