bx_clipper: I had 1.0.1. It's now 1.1.0
bx_limiter True Peak: I had 1.2.1. It's now 1.3.0
bx_masterdesk: I had 1.7.1. It's now 1.8.0
bx_masterdesk Pro: I had 1.1.1. It's now 1.3.0
bx_masterdesk True Peak: I had 1.1.1. It's now 1.2.0
Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor: I had 1.5.1. It's now 1.6.0

Gee, wouldn't it be nice if the otherwise convenient PA Installation Manager actually informed the user when their plugins needed updates, instead of offloading the "painstaking comparison" work onto the user...

I noticed these yesterday in the KVR app. It’s an easier way to see what needs updating, although I guess some people are not comfortable using it.

Yep!! It would be great. I’ve read in forums that PA is beta testing an updated PA Installation Manager that does just that. It seriously cannot arrive soon enough!!

Thanks for the heads-up. I wonder if these fix any of the issues that they told me I wasn't having over Sequoia....they couldn't explain my screen shots, however.
