Why.? I don't get why people feel the need to update software just for updating sakes when they don't have any issues.! . . . . If it's working ok leave it alone.

Well that's exactly my point. If I have an issue, I should be able to look through the release notes to see if its been addressed in a newer version. I shouldn't have to try pot-luck installs.

Maybe there's a new feature I really want? How would I know if there are no release notes...

Maybe I know there is a new feature, but they've removed some other functionality I use... again how do you know?

I've worked as a software engineer before, and release notes are a basic requirement for any quality product. It makes me worry what other shortcuts they're taking, which might not lead to problems right away, but a couple of years down the line could make a project unsustainable to work on, and means your code base becomes a buggy mess (which I gather is what happened to later versions of Mach3?)

Yes, Agree on that side of things your 100% correct regards release notes. I wasn't actually referring so much to that but rather peoples need to update for the sake of updating. Just don't get the need if things are working ok.!

+1 Perhaps Microsoft (mighty offenders in this area) could do with some Yorkshire wisdom!
