I did the same thing! I wrote that code on 3.7 and then ran it on 3.6 and was
all "why doesn't that work"?

As other people have pointed out, the change is noted on the beta page. I find
it quite a useful addition.

The proximity creation code will only work on 3.7 (for DF3 writing, mesh
inside() testing, etc), but you should, in theory, be able to read the prox and
DF3 files on 3.6 (I haven't actually tested it though).

Cheers,
Edouard.
