austin, one nice advice for you:
"person will get what he/she wants if he asks TOO many times"

so what I suggest you is:
write an angry or polite letter or post for the author to read.
mostlikely, if you add a reply in his udf-topic he will add a fix and reply:
"sorry, forgot that kix is developing faster than I am"
