AccelStepper bundled with TeensyDuino considered harmful

TeensyDuino has AccelStepper version 1.30 bundled
From C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\teensy\avr\libraries\AccelStepper\AccelStepper.cpp:

Code:

boolean AccelStepper::run()
{
    if (runSpeed())
	computeNewSpeed();
    return true;
}

AccelStepper is now in version 1.53:
http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/AccelStepper/index.html

Corresponding lines now look like this:

Code:

boolean AccelStepper::run()
{
    if (runSpeed())
	computeNewSpeed();
    return _speed != 0.0 || distanceToGo() != 0;
}

Don't waste your time as I did - get the latest AccelStepper.
Other than that TeensyDuino rulzzz!

Cheers!
