I noticed, but I forgot to check it out so that I could comment (been kind of busy). There doesn't seem to be any method which is really strange, and I thought you could already just use the Win32 API to do this (though I never gave it a try myself
).
I think what woul be really nice is to have a page in the scripting documentation of the updates that were made for each version so that we can find updates easier for this particular purpose.
