Installer can only cope with 2 digits after the decimal point and it only compares module version numbers and ignores any dates, so no SysMerge wouldn’t work because it would see both modules as being 1.05 and skip updating. |

Don’t know where you got that idea from… |

Sorry, didn’t make it clear – I wasn’t referring to the timestamp of the file, I was referring to the date in the module help string, which could have been used to see it was a newer module if the version number hadn’t changed. Not that I’m recommending doing that, I agree with bumping the module version. But then I guess that’s what Installer is doing by checking the timestamp of the file. |

From the original message:
The version number doesn’t change. Neither does the embedded date. File stamp is all that remains to tell one from another programmatically. |

RISC OS Developments acquired Castle Technology and with it the RISC OS Operating System. The best bits of the dead version will be brought into the ROOL version. I may be using a wider interpretation of “recent” than you were expecting. |

I’m even more confused now :) Wasn’t (virtually) all of Castle’s stuff already in the ROOL version? |

The dead branch is the ROL version. All the rights to RISC OS are now owned by one company. The old schism is dead in principle, though the practical reunification will take some time. |
