Algorithm2e Comment Lines w/out semicolons

Question

For some reason even when I enable \DontPrintSemicolon there are still semicolons on lines with comments. This is in Algorithm2e version 3.9.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[lined,boxed]{algorithm2e}% using version 3.9
\usepackage{amsmath}

\newcommand*{\DontPrintSemicolon}[0]{\dontprintsemicolon}%remove for 5.0

%define defaults for algorithm2e
\let \oriAlgorithm=\algorithm
\renewcommand{\algorithm}[2]{
  \oriAlgorithm  % Begin document
    \SetLine
    \DontPrintSemicolon
    \SetKwComment{Comment}{}{}
    \Titleofalgo{ #1 }
    \caption{ #2 }
}

\newcommand*{\Set}[2]{ #1 $\gets$ #2 }
\newcommand*{\SetC}[3]{ #1 $\gets$ #2 \Comment*[r]{#3} }

\begin{document}
  \begin{algorithm}{test}{test to show semicolons existence}
    \SetC{$f$}{$true$}{Some comment}\;
    \Set{$f$}{$\lnot f$}\;
    \Return{$f$}\;
  \end{algorithm}
\end{document}

Why don't you update to algorithm2e version 5.0? The only historic stable version available is algorithm2e 4.01. If you're stuck with using algorithm2e 3.9, you should make that available somewhere (usually Pastebin). — Werner, Nov 08 '13 at 21:07
It's the package in tex-science on debian, so it would just be a pain to upgrade. Are you confirming that this was a bug in previous releases? And what do you mean regarding your link to pastebin (make what available)? — nlucaroni, Nov 08 '13 at 22:05
This question appears to be off-topic because it is about bug in an outdated version of a package. This bug has been fixed in newer versions. — Werner, Nov 09 '13 at 01:14

5.0 documentation states a bug was fixed regarding this issue,

a bug with side text -- text put into () -- of command macro (SetKwIf and so on) which was always setting a ’;’ even after a \DontPrintSemicolon

You can literally just download algorithm2e.sty and place it in your working folder. Simple as that. – Werner Nov 09 '13 at 01:15
