Hi,

The format of the *.component files has changed, and I "just" forgot to update 
the gb.net.component and gb.net.curl.component files.

While waiting for the next release, here is what you can do:

1) Edit the gb.net.component file. It is located in /usr/local/lib/gambas2 if 
you kept the default install path.
2) There is a line with "Controls=XXX" that lists the controls included in the 
component.
3) Duplicate this line, by replacing "Controls=" by "Virtual="
4) Save the file.
5) Do the same thing with the gb.net.curl.component file.

Now everything should work as before.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Regards,
