Actually BAinUt... it has changed. The fly clips to each corner of the tent via the pole attachment points. It is a very secure and adjustable attachment system that we use even in our expedition tents. It is lightweight and fast to attach. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the update on the method, Jon. You're right: regardless of old or new, it's super secure and easy. It attaches to the tent and/or footprint's pole grommet/strap system (no clips, ties, or velcro tying it to the poles). You use the tent strap to secure the fly at each pole/ground connection point. You can guy it out for more stability and would need to use stakes on the vestibule.
