Tokenize Error with latest update

I just updated to the latest dev version of views pdf that was updated earlier this week, and now all of my pdf views dont render at all anymore...

I have no clue which merged change actually caused this to happen... or if it has something to do with another module i have...

Either way, now all views pdf page return this error when trying to access any of them

Error: Call to a member function tokenize_value() on null in views_handler_area_text->render_textarea() (line 129 of \sites\all\modules\views\handlers\views_handler_area_text.inc).

That area contains the following code :

public function render_textarea($value, $format) {
    if ($value) {
      if ($this->options['tokenize']) {
        $value = $this->view->style_plugin->tokenize_value($value, 0);
      }
      return check_markup($value, $format, '', FALSE);
    }

So it seems to be something with token...

I rolled back the views_pdf to my previous version for now and it works again...
