Entity id changed in the last version ?

[edelcom]

I downloaded the latest version of PowerMaps this morning and found something changed (last version downloaded somwehere in dec last year - both version 3).

Previously, if I wanted to show a number over a country (in f.i. the Europe map), I generated:

<entity id='BE' value='150'> - look at the country code BE for Belgium

Now, I have to generate the following:

<entity id='005' value='150'>

Why has this been changed ? This breaks existing code ! Can I use the previous codes in stead of the numbers by setting some property ?
