Alrighty then
The session expiration problem has been solved, maintenance version 1.1.1. released.
For those who have v1.1. already installed there is an attachment with the upgrade instructions, switch_11_to_111.txt.
Anyone installing from the new installation instructions (switch_111.txt) will end up with v1.1.1., which has the same fix applied.
Both of these files can be found in this thread's first post.
No updates to this hack are expected to take place until v1.2., introducing new features (and less overhead).
