I also would like to see a changelog. Having more users know about new features means those new features get tested earlier and more often.

Using the following as a default command to execute on application updates produces a text file on your desktop of the applications that were updated. Just replace USERNAME with your username so it points to your desktop. I use this on a Windows XP Pro machine.
ECHO {appname} >> "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Desktop\Updates.txt"I find this very useful because I now include the command line execution of Ketarin in a daily shutdown script for my machine. This way I am notified of new applications that are available. The script will continue to append the text file so you'll want to delete it after you have updated your applications.

{appname} is exactly what I am looking for so I can make a log of updated applications with something like
{appname} >> C:\ketarinupdates.txt
My goal is to include Ketarin in a batch script I activate at the end of the day to clean, optimize, backup and shutdown my system. Since I walk away from it I need to some way of being notified the next morning on startup that updates took place.

Yeah I don't do much scripting but I had a feeling what I did was scalable. With only about 30 apps, none affected by the always update bug, my script is good enough for me and popping the text file on the desktop lets me know in the morning right away what I need to update. I have Ketarin run automatically before shutdown at night while I am away from the computer along with jkdefrag, ccleaner, and JungleDisk backup to my Amazon S3 space.
