I did some testing of the updater on macOS using my own staging server. I did not find any problems with 7.5a10 to 8.0a1 incremental or full updates. I also tested an "in place" update of 8.0a1 to 8.0a1 just to make sure the new updater is working and that there is no problem with the MAR signing key. -- Mark Smith Pearl Crescent http://pearlcrescent.com/
