And as in some kind of imaginary race with Blender it self, Blender Organizer, or Victorious Children Studio Organizer is trying to lead ahead. Just yesterday the release of VCStudio 21.06 saw the light of day. And today we are glad to announce more improvements. + +# Updater 2.0 + +Do you remember the updater of Blender Organizer? That window with a page written in entirely new format? From the introduction of Updater into VCStudio, the re-design of the legacy Blender-Organizer, there was a lack of pages to read when checking for updates. + +![](https://notabug.org/jyamihud/update_manager/raw/master/vcstudio/75.png) + +You could click on the version number and a page about it would open up in a browser, but it wasn't even close to what Blender Organizer legacy experience was by contrast. In there the pages were loading build in. + +Yes this implementation has it's upsides too. Like you can access pages of all versions and not just the last one. And you can expand the view to see the list of files. Clicking on each will give you full history of that given file. + +So a redesign was proposed. Using the newly added Documentation Markdown Browser to draw the pages of the Updates directly in the UI. So may I present you the Updater 2.0 of VCStudio 21.0615. + +![](https://notabug.org/jyamihud/update_manager/raw/master/vcstudio/83.png) + +Now when you will click the update, you will see the page in whole just sitting there and waiting for you to read it. With embedded images and links. Like it should be. Written in pure markdown. + +Some sacrifices were made. For example we are not using LBRY to host the update pages yet. Since it's going to require `spee.ch` to work properly. And it has problems at the moment. Some files just do not want to be downloaded. So for now it's stored on notabug.org in the project's repository. It's this same document as one you are reading now, but with a slight change. Optimizing it for the experience with in the VCStudio updater. + +![](https://notabug.org/jyamihud/update_manager/raw/master/vcstudio/82.png) + +About files. I thought let's make them tiled. Why not. Now you can click the file to open it. Click the notabug logo to open the up to date version in the repository. And click the history icon to view file's history on notabug.org. + + +![](https://cdn.lbryplayer.xyz/api/v4/streams/free/vcstudio-getit-useit-reportit/bd7bd1fe14edbca411a33726f0acdb6624a60f7c/86ef63) + +Now please go and [get it](https://notabug.org/jyamihud/VCStudio). Install it, play with it and hack it. And if you see something that's bothering you, you may [report it](https://notabug.org/jyamihud/VCStudio/issues) too.
