I have the same result. It seems that formats have been deleted without 
being replaced (kpsewhich doesn't find any).

I compiled them myself and could see that there are no misplaced marks 
anymore in a (fairly long) file using "Sanskrit 2003". Also Manchu 
looks much better with medial and final shapes of letters.

I have another small difficulty. I have been testing Sanskrit 
hyphenation patterns for a few months. So far they worked well. Since 
version 0.871 they don't seem to be used by XeTeX. They are loaded when 
I compile a format and typeset a file but words aren't hyphenated 
anymore. I'm using them exactly the same way as before (I think). What 
could have happened?

Kind regards,
