Before going further, I just want to thank all those that work on and contribute to all the various aspects of Rocket Launcher, with no gain for themselves. It is a great piece of software and I really enjoy watching it progress. I appreciate that you have put an update check/installer feature into the program, so that you can be sure everyone is using the same up-to-date versions of scripts and modules when users come ask for help on the forums.
I have one suggestion though. Perhaps you can implement an opt-in option in the RL Updater for those that want to be beta/early testers of new releases. The past two releases have led to numerous issues that have broken various aspects of my setup (as well as many others reporting problems). This results in hours of work fixing things that used to work, on top of the hundreds of hours I have put into building my personal setup. I appreciate the new features, but would like to see them get a more thorough testing before I am asked to update my Rocket Launcher every time I launch it (until I do so). I think that providing the release a few days or weeks before general release to those that volunteer to test would be beneficial.
The developers get a change to test their updates on a broader range of setups, while avoiding the pressure to fix things right away after a release potentially breaks things for everyone. Those that have stable setups can update knowing that the new modules / features have been fully vetted. In the end everyone is happier for it. This type of opt-in beta program has been adopted by so many different software developers such as Steam and I think it is a great idea.
Again, this is just a suggestion to improve the update process. And thanks again to everyone for their contributions.
