How outdated is the FPS tutorial?

This one, in question:

I'm eager to get started in learning Torque3D, but the tutorial says it's out of date. Exactly how much of the lessons won't work on the new version? Has anyone else gone through it?

Other than that, everything in there about how to edit your game and work with the engine is fully functional.

Yeah, pretty much just Lessons 1 and 8. The Toolbox no longer exists, so creating a new project uses the new Project Manager (Lesson 1). The Project Manager does not have a system in place to create an installer for your game, so Lesson 8 won't work either. Also, the beginning of every lesson says something about "launch the Toolbox, select your project and click Edit World" or some such - this no longer applies either.Other than that, everything in there about how to edit your game and work with the engine is fully functional.

A bunch of updates to it were pushed on Friday, so it's just Lesson 8 that is out of date at this point.
