Well, Resource Hacker 4.2.4 arrived a week after 4.2.3, so it was more like weekly updates. (Weekly is definitely frequent as well, mind you.)

There is a undocumented change in Resource Hacker version 4.3.20- new icon:

Resource Hacker icon in version 4.2.5:
Image

Resource Hacker icon in version 4.3.20:
Image

Or the new icon is included in
Bugfixes: Other minor fixes
? Or this is a bug? Because I am not sure whether this is a temporary, a permanent or an accidental change I will not update Resource Hacker database entry icon.
