Good question. We have not found an easy/good solution to automaticly put a version string into the \*source code\* in github. So the latest in "master" should always be the greatest - even if it comes with one or the other bug at times. :-D ---

> thanks! i think i subscribe to the change log. today everything works fine and i would like to see the changes before i update… how do you make that subscription? What I do is this, I have the current working one, then when I see updates/changes that have been committed I shut down the current one, rename the folder to xxxxxx\_working and then I download the lastest one and put it in the python directory, try out the new one, if anything is broken I just go back and open plexconnect from the \_working folder and bam right back in business.  ---
