Thats still problematic for me. A simple update notification, and clearly mentioning *which* version is in the MSI, right *on* the website, together with a changelog, will primarily help *YOU* - because people who may stumble over the same bug will find that there's a fix available already. Even though its only theoretical - if I downloaded 3.62 on friday and look on the site today, I would think I'm all up to date, and maybe even report an already fixed bug again. You can safe yourself the time and effort to handle this and concentrate on the meat of things, which I consider from a programmers PoV, a good thing. :-) -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) Deliplayer2 is playing: "Elastic crystals In Motion" (8:18) by Omnimotion from the 2000 album 'Interior Horizons' ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.62.07 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
