    One thing that I wish MG had with software updates is a revision notifier.

    I'll download a program that I already have, only after I have read the software revision portion of the original website.

    Just a thing I do. I don't download blindly.

    Perhaps it is the beta tester in me, that wants this....

    For example:

    Winamp was recently updated....I'd love to know that the following changes were implemented:

    Code:
    Winamp 5.094
    New: in_wm now handles bitrate and length extended info
    New: New random number generation for playlist shuffle
    Fixed: Security vulernability in id3v2 tags
    Fixed: Winamp now shuffles playlists larger than 32,768 songs
    Fixed: Fade on start now behaves properly
    Fixed: separate directsound settings with multiple instances
    Fixed: Winamp now supports adding URLs longer than 260 characters.
    Fixed: Editing files created in iTunes no longer causes corruption.
    Fixed: Length of long mp3's now reported properly
    Fixed: gen_jumpex no longer crashes when DEP is enabled
    Fixed: Sort selections in media library are now remembered.
    Fixed: Album names with non-alphanumeric character behave better
    Fixed: Fixed intermittent crash on seeking for some users
    Updated: new libmp4v2.dll
    Just something that I wish was here....but, clicking my mouse a few times to find the answer is okay......

    Yeah that would be nice, but it would also take more time. Since he has too find out what changes were made on the product in that update.

    Revision notices like this should never be up to the hoster of the file. They should be up to the developer. If the developers provide a .txt file that includes it, then I can see where having it on the site would be helpful for a skim before download, otherwise, downloading and reading the readme should be just as beneficial.

    I always put a readme.txt file with my installation msi's and send it Tim with the readme.txt attached. From that point, it's out of my hands.

    Okay, excellent, I was just wondering. I'm sure most users probably don't care what the software revsions are.

    I just thought it would be an excellent feature for this wonderful site could have!
