Excellent, but the 1st link didn't work for me.
Anyone know when it will be listed on the main page and what the changes are in this ver?

Holy crap! I still been using 1.1!!

 

[Chiefcrowe]

as far as I can tell the x64 version is still not final, is that right?

It says experimental on this page:

I've done that with a lot of programs. I'll usually block them when they try to connect to the internet and then forget to manually check for updates. Really wish there was a program that could go through all your installed programs and let you know which can be updated.

Yeah, don't think it's final. Going to give it a try though and see how it works.

Secunia PSI does that checking and updating.
