Hi MJU,
This should apply to any updated version.

Not sure if you mean it should but does not, or you just agree with me and you found it ok?

Isn't it common practice to publish a release note when a patch is send out to the world?
I didn't install the patch (my version was 6.09), before I knew what had changed.
But after reading the post about where the changes are stowed away I installed the 6.10 patch.

In my logs folder there are a few change notes, but they stop after 6.03 (FlowcodeV6_Patchset6.0.3.txt).
There is a file "changes.txt" but this only holds changes from beta patches Matrix asked me to try.

So my question remains: what has changed with 6.10?

give you full coming right ..I'm talking the whole time already ...

It would be better to find out before the installation what has changed.
whether it makes makes the patch or the release or install the candidates should each user can decide before installation.

It would also be nice if a specific routine would return.
once new patches are announced then again not.
I find it sorry about bug messages to know that there is a new patch again.

but as this is now time unfortunately ...

....

my 5 cents ...for yourself:
no solution but a consolation:
unzip the install archive
search for the string
"Changes in this version"
in each file ...
then you know at least which file will be the log file ..
for v10 ..: read in the file fle_07262
