But I suggest we remove the prev radio button - it really doesn't make any sense to replace a load of packages with previous versions, when one could be a few days old, but others could be a year old - it all depends on the release schedules of the seperate packages. Comments? I'm not promising anything, but there's a slim chance I'll have a patch ready in time for upcoming setup release at the weekend / early next week.
