This directory contains versioned update files. An update should only be made available if it doesn't break too many things. Given a VERSION.MAJOR.MINOR version (e.g. 1.30.1): changes in VERSION should always require a new update_.properties changes in MAJOR may require a new update_.properties if they break plugins or alter profile paths changes in MINOR never require a new update_.properties Note: in all cases, the old version file should be kept so that old releases can update to the latest version of PMS that doesn't cause upgrade issues. The ID is arbitrary. As long as it's distinct for each compatible set of PMS releases, it can be anything. Currently it's an integer that's incremented for each "generation".
