v7.9.14

Only a few moments ago, retrieving the quality of a tag which doesn’t exist, within an indirect binding would return “Not Found” as the result. However upon resaving the Tag provider, it is now returning “REFERENCE\_NOT\_FOUND” instead?

I have a bunch of expressions using:

```auto
toStr(tag("TagPathThatDoesn'tExist")) = 'Not Found'

```

as well, and again, this is now false as the toStr(…) part returns the REFERENCE\_NOT\_FOUND text now.  
I’m quite confused, as it was literally working 5 minutes ago before rebooting the tag provider…

PS. I realise that I should be using `isGood(...)`, but this is legacy stuff that I’ve had working for ages.
