Re: Upgrading/Updating Extensions

Thanks for the reply.
Yeah, fair enough to keep them up to date, just thought the RDS ones will
have at least provided a log of some sort reporting said extensions whether
it is good, bad or otherwise. A bit tedious checking on the logs with
RDS'es too :_)
Will check on the release notes.
