Hi Allen,

Thats a GOOD question!

Mine is set to update automatically also but is still on the original 2704 build.

Where do you find out what version they are up to?
I can't seem to find anywhere to get updates from their site.

Hi Guys,

I think you are misreading what Auto update means, when selected it SHOULD tell you that there is an update available for you to download, it does not download and install automatically, from my experience this function only appears to tell you that a new version is available, not an update to an existing version.
Updates for current and previous versions can be found here,

PS
There is no facility available to tell you the revision history, each new update includes the updates from previous builds

Hello Robert and Thank-you for taking the time to share your expertise.

Let me get this straight.. you're saying that when we have the Auto-Update function turned on in the Preferences section, the program will alert us know when a totally new version is available for purchase.. i.e., PD9 / PD10 / PD11, etc.. correct?

Come to think of it, since the program hasn't auto-updated, or even notified me that patches are available, you're probably right. The only notifications that would arrive are of a totally new version being available for purchase.

Each time an update is made, there is usually some type of program enhancement, or fix integrated into the update. What I was looking for is a verbal description of what was included in each update/patch. For instance, when you go to this page http://www.cyberlink.com/downloads/support/powerdirector/patches_en_US.html and hover your mouse over the blue "i" symbol, there's a pop-up dialogue which verbally explains explains the program changes effective with the current 3302 update/patch.

I wanted to know if Cyberlink had those past revision descriptions stored in an online LOG or READ-ME file somewhere within the Cyberlink website. But, based on the lack of response to my inquiry, and past inquiries from other PD-8 customers in this forum over past years, I have to assume that such a log is not kept..at least not for public consumption. It's not a big deal...just a curiosity, because I was having some troubles with the SVRT setting and my video card and I wanted to know if perhaps one of the patches fixed it. I'll just burn a DVD and see.

Thanks again for your feedback Robert. I hope it's not too cold and snowy in your part of Australia.
Cheers!

Probably the most requested 'feature' that does not exist is a real change log. The updates include a high-level, three or four item list of major fixes but do not define what certainly must be dozens or more minor fixes that are surely included in each patch.

Four words on a real change log: Not going to happen.

Win8 64-bit Pro Retail

You sound pretty sure of yourself with that final statement, OnTheWeb. It's disappointing, but since I don't use the program (P.D.)for more than burning family clips to DVD's, a Change Log is not a critical need. Thanks for the feedback.
