1.1.70 version is still purring away

If you are using the toolbar for 6 months or more, you most likely never installed version 1.1.70 (until yesterday) but an older version that was later automatically updated to the 1.1.70 version.

March 5: 1.1.70 [webmasterworld.com]

Feb. 28: 1.1.69 [webmasterworld.com]

Feb. 6: 1.1.68 [webmasterworld.com]


This automatic update isn't something new for the Google toolbar:

It would be nice if they informed the user of the dynamic updates somewhere.
