This really isn't needed for 4.2.1+, is it?

Correct, almost.
This mod has some good features, but it is possible in 4.2.1+ to get close.
We have.

I've looked at the code and due to how it works it is medium difficult to change (i.e. requires some refactoring/redesign and a good understanding of vB+php), but alas the license precludes that.
It has some duplicate features with 4.2.1 so they would also need to be removed.

I have vb 4.2.2 and have yet to install your mod. I have created some drop down menus that link to content stored as articles in my CMS. When a user for example views a an item from say the tab "car Classes" and then selects an item from the drop down menu, the tab changes to the news tab as that is where the content is stored. does your mod allow me to over ride this so the tab highlighted does not change ?

please check my site for an example. www.gtarena.com.

thanks

Not in my experience, no. Not if it goes to the CMS. That is why the tab would change. If you link it directly to a url not built in to vB the tab shouldn't change.

I just added ?tabid=71 at the end of my links 71 is a example of course and the correct tab will be shown.

What for? The code is unsupported. I guess if you are sending him praise then it is all good.

It really is not needed as much in v4.2.0+ -- but I am a big fan of @Andreas.
