Should be fixed (updated the TEA build).

Should be fixed. I've also updated tdom to the latest version.

Should be fixed.

Also fixed (didn't like the repeat). In the next merge.

I've (re-)added the classic view for SIAP, so you can just query one at a
time like catalogues. This will be in the next merge.

As I said before this is fixed.

Fixed.

Couldn't repeat that. Hopefully just a transient or build issue.
Thanks for the report.
Peter.
