Well, I got another patch from someone for protodef. It was just getting silly that I didn’t have anywhere to actually put this stuff and I was getting tired of people sending patches :). Now y’all can just fix stuff for me directly… go to it. Head here for protodef. Head...

I’ve finally updated FSwitch and ProtoDef after a long time waiting. Three guys gave me patches over many months and I’ve finally put them together into an actual couple of releases. Thanks to Matt Spear, Timon Kelter and Dmitry Bashkatov. Sorry about the wait fellas.
