I have several products in DIM that show product updates.  The issue is not a one of them show what the update "fixes".  In the past we have had issues with the updates breaking products because they were not correct for whatever reason.  So I am reaching out to my fellow forum people and PA's that visit the forums to see if ya'll know if they are safe to update.

dForce Signature Style Outfit for G8F
Honni 8
Trash the Room dForce Prop Set
dForce Workout Outfit for G8M
dForce Magnet - Riversoft did submit an update for this as stated in the commercial thread, they have also requested the Readme be updated also.

    Honni 8 : fresh copies of supplement and manifest, no changes to content. Kinda wondering why, myself.
    Trash the Room dForce Prop Set : Metadata update to add Content Type and CompatibilityBase to several props.
    dForce Workout Outfit for G8M : Metadata update to set compatibility to G8M, not G8F. Added G8M to compatibility list for hierarchical poses.

    Don't have Signature Style, and dForce Magnet doc seems to be pending (haven't tried it yet).

    Sure. After being burned a couple of times by, um-m, wayward updates, I now inspect all incoming update files and deduce the reasons for the change. I first look at the contents to see which files have changed since the last revision (flat view, sort by date). I also compare the Installed Files vs. the Package Files to see if anything has been added or removed. I have a backup copy of the package, so I can always undo the update if it isn't quite right. Metadata and content files can be compared to see exactly what was changed, if you really want to know what is going on. Install, and verify that the affected files do something different, hopefully for the better. Then I take a nap, because that can be tedious, but no more "uh-oh" surprises.
