I had spotted this myself several months ago, but I was waiting for the DAM
queue to end up at my own application since had hoped that I would be able to
upload the new package myself. However, since the DAM queue appears to have
been at a total freeze over the last few months, and I still have 20
applications ahead of me, it does not seem like that is going to happen. I
will make a few more minor changes to the software and ask a sponsor to
re-upload it within a week or so.

Thank you for pointing this out!
