[wp-testers] Custom Post Types single.php not working

[Paul Robinson]

I don't want to be seen as hijacking a thread or anything, but I was
wondering. In the final version of 3.0 will permalinks be
automatically rebuilt when adding a post type or will we still have to
go settings -> permalinks like we do now? Not that it's much of a
problem, just wondering is all. :)
