Update Manager 0.6.7 (Initial Release). Getting ready to implement it now. Default Check on repos does *NOT* work. Manifest works, Repos work. Main does not show panel or menu item, so if Auto or No are check, user will *NOT* see the Update Manager unless they edit their manifest.xml

+Welcome to Update Manager 0.6.7!!!
+
+This is the first isntallment of Update Manager for the OpenRPG Virtual Game Table.  The package includes several files that allow users to install Update Manager as a package into other softwares that use Mercurial.  The package itself includes
+
+updatemana.py ## The Update Manager
+manfiest.py ## A clone of the Plugin Database file (plugindb.py) from the OpenRPG Project
+validate.py ## Currently unused but it is here for future packaging, from the OpenRPG Project
+xmltramp.py  ## From the OpenRPG Project
+__init__.py ## So you can copy the upmana folder and import updatemana.py anywhere
+tmp folder ## Used to protect files during a repository update
+default_ignorelist.txt ## An empty txt, needed in case users cannot create their own ignorelist.txt
+default_manifest.xml ## A nearly empty XML file.  Used to hold Update Manager information.
+
+The code is incomplete in this version, but the pieces that are missing have notes in remarks on how to complete them.
+
+So what can you do with Update Manager? If you have a project that you want to serve to users and user Mercurial as a way to deliver updates, Update Manager allows you to deliver those updates without the fear of creating a problem with user sentiment.  Users will be able to (when completed) access their Control tab and update to any revision or any branch that has been served via a repoistory.  Users also have the option to protect files from being overwritten during updates, or not update at all!
+
+If you have a development team you can use Update Manager as a speedy way to surf through your branches and revisions.
