Resolution: (none) => FIXEDStatus: NEW => RESOLVED
Unhide was reverted to the latest official release 20130526. 20200120 was Unhide-NG release. From Unhide-NG README.txt: "IMPORTANT NOTE : Unhide-NG is not (yet) the updated version of Unhide. Unhide-NG is a lab project that in an indeterminate future may replace Unhide."
