NextPVR and NRecord, between releases, updates

[p37307]

I have a question, maybe this is for Sub but I am sure others might be able to answer.

Throughout the forums, from time to time, and this time I am using Nlite for an example, as found here: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post508594,

When it is between version releases, sometimes a new NRecord or NextPvr is attached to a post to get something working for someone else (in this case for a NLite user with a problem).

Sub attached both NextPVR and NRecord to the post.

Are there any improvements that may be beneficial between releases that would motivate a user, if they backed up their current versions in case something broke, to install a patch attached to an after a version release post.

I am not using Nlite but if other improvements to NextPVR and NRecord have been written into an attached patch, I would like to utilize it.

Of course this could be opening a big can of worms which is why you would have to backup what you replace and your data files.

When I post a patch, it's usually just to get confirmation that it's fixed, so the fix can be included in the next release. Sure there is sometimes other changes included, but I don't want to have to post detailed info about those changes - too much work.

When I've got a set of patches that I'd like to roll out to everyone, I'll post an updated version of the installer in the release thread, along with notes about what has changed.
