## Source excerpt

Another week - another update! This time I worked on the license info, update checking and other improvements to my work. These changes bring up many under-the-hood changes. Dont worry, these changes may not look huge. I'm adding features and then worry about the visuals :) But first things first. Let's have a look. Before After Update check RAPPS can now suggest and update if the version installed is less than in the database.
