Somehow, at some point during the very long build process for GCA5, I accidentally set the 'Check for Updates' period of time to 0 by default, so it's effectively turned off for everyone.

Just as an FYI, you can change that setting in Options, and GCA will check for updates before running GCA every X days, depending on what you set.

I have now updated some of the supporting files for the public beta.

You can manually check for these updates using Check for Updates on the Help menu (save your characters first). That will close GCA and launch the Package Updater, which will then check for the updates. Click OK to install the updates, and once that process is done, click OK to close and return to GCA.

The Updater also includes Optional Updates on a different tab, so check there for optional things that you might want to include, if you feel like it. There's not much there at the moment, but Eric's Symbol images are pretty cool.
