Each PowerScript has its own help page with what is new in it: pick the script from the menu on the left and scroll down to What's new.

PowerScripts updates itself: click the update bar in the panel when it shows, or choose Update PowerScripts from the panel menu. See Updating PowerScripts.

Still on PowerScripts 3.7? Download and run the latest installer from Install / update. Your licence, scripts and settings carry over.

• PowerScripts updates itself: choose Update PowerScripts in the panel menu, or click the update bar when a new version is available. No Updater app any more.
