This information was previously held in a knowledge base article.

 

We maintain comprehensive details of the changes made to each release of our software in a file called TBhist.txt which is placed in the UPDD application folder during UPDD installation.  The information in the file is displayed in the UPDD Console, About Box, View Change History option in the History dialog as shown below:

 

 

Up until 4.1.6 there was an entry per production release.  Since 4.1.6 we have introduced the notion of interim R builds so there is now an entry per ‘R’ build, as seen above, with the tag BUILD nnnn.  Currently all changes per release are listed.  With 4.1.10 onwards the changes will be filtered per OS so that for each OS we will list only non OS and OS specific changes. i.e Mac users will not see changes relating to Windows.

 

Labels against each entry indicate the type of change as follows:
