You must have missed the discussion where the author of TASD is no longer supporting it. He now works for a commercial company with a very obnoxious copyright which makes it impossible for any of his 'new' code to ever be integrated into FreeBSD. So, the latest release of TASD (3.5) is the last release. Because of that, we are now free to hack the snot out of it and fix the bugs and such in it. What was formerly supported 3rd party code is now un-supported/no longer updated code which we are free to do with as we please. Nate
