hi, I was on 4.5.0.81 til today, and am in the process of upgrading to .102. I noticed that up to .81, it was the same old process and you'd use Desktop Manager to upgrade, but as of .99, you are now suggested to use the Loader.exe program in the same folder as the vendor.xml file.

Why the change?
