Anyone know why a ton of PC+ Iray shaders need updating?

I opened DIM just now and there are updates for a bunch of very large files like the Metal Abounds and Elegant Fabric Iray shaders. However, no 2018 updates are shown in their package readme files. Does anyone know what these updates do? Thanks.

    According to Jen in the PC section, they do some reorganization to minimize Utility duplication, and they rename and reorganize the presets and associated metadata so that it's easier to tell what they are.

    I expect they'll show updates in the readmes soon; she just hasn't gotten to it yet.

    Same here. Enquiring minds ...

    So then should i uninstall the current installed shaders and re-install one the updated ones are updated? Or does the update do both of those things for us?

    I have all of them and appreciate removal of duplicates & consolidation in a consistant way.

    Thanks, I'll get around to downloading them later. No huge hurry.

    Nonesuch00, you should be able to just overwrite them, although if you manually organized the files in your Content panel, you'll end up with duplicate MATs. Not a problem, just can be confusing.
