Release download table views field fails to render in any circumstance

As in the title, the release download table does not render, despite whatever combination of relationships, fields, and node types. The bug is in the views handler for the "Download table" field (project_release_handler_field_download_table.inc), where:

167    if (empty($node->releases)) {
168      return;
169    }

The code above always returns, because the project release data structure has changed and the "Initial" Views2 port never caught up. As seen in specifically project_release.module, the check should be on $node->project_release['releases'].
