I think the next thing i'm going to work on is the ability for users to indicate that they want to be made aware of beta versions available for update, and to be able to rollback to stable versions if they so choose.

Should make it easier and safer to test stuff.

Sounds great, mouser  :Thmbsup: I like playing with betas but often find that I want to go back to the last stable release. Adding this functionality to DCUpdater will make doing so MUCH easier.
