I still need to write up some more stuff on it, and just last night I *THINK* the wd bug got squashed that caused some controllers to fail with the current wd patches in old patchkit. I have one more patch I would like to add to it, (FP patches - I have probably about 50 more I could add), but I am still thinking about it. I *WILL* release the next version soon, after some more descriptions and instructions, and then leave the rest to the new maintainer. > >generally, in terms of things like patch kits, if it's in an "official-looking" >place, is newer and contains more patchkits, it's probably for real... Please wait a bit before getting the patchkit. I *promise* it will be out in less than a week.
