If you didn't make any real changes then the update will have reset the timestamps, so the release won't see the change. The check is only a simple one - are the timestamps different. It doesn't compare the file contents. Release is pretty useless for most purposes anyway (the only advantage is that it will unedit/notify any files you have edited). Tony
