Much appreciated.

If I may, could I clarify -

Would I be right to assume that updates such as the latter one will end up in the plugins section (as was the case with the one niestudio did)?
and if so, is there any built in update notifier for those who use it, or is it up to the individual to periodically check for changes??
Welcome with whatever little I may have helped. Typically those that submit an update will post something in the forum thread (which if monitored and one stays "up-to-date" with) will be notified. But I can't say that I have seen a notifier for plug-in updates otherwise. And yes as such the shop owner(s) should periodically check for updates and then evaluate whether it should eventually be incorporated into the active site.
