Catalyst in general, and JMH in particular, are pathologically averse to producing and publishing a proper Errata.

One of my biggest disappointments with SR4, in fact.

I understand the sentiment. My question was more about what information Herolab has received that isn't "officially" in print anywhere else. Using rules corrections and/or clarifications that aren't known to the general gaming community causes unnecessary confusion for people trying to use Herolab. The program should probably be kept current with the published books, FAQ, and Errata unless the Herolab team wants to keep a running thread or help document in the program with all the changes that have been implemented. Especially with changes that are "invisible" like not applying certain bonuses, as people will probably assume it is a bug. The more divergent the program is with the in-print rules, the harder it is to use in the wider gaming community without issue. Not a criticism really, more like a request for added functionality. Keeping Herolab users current with what rules the Herolab team is going off of only makes sense.

If this exists somewhere, that's awesome. I'd just need a point in the right direction.

Inside the program: Help Menu...Shadowrun FAQ.

This page lists changes that have been implemented as bug fixes, but would it be possible to add a distinct section detailing what rules Herolab is using that aren't referenced in the sourcebooks, Errata, or FAQ? The other stuff on there is plenty helpful. to be sure. Thanks for the responses and humoring my search for clarity!

I have a stack of BattleTech books with errata rolled into them that says CGL does, in fact, handle errata.

They do, it's Adam Jury or Jason Hardy who're behind. It's high on their to do list.

Umm Canis, Adam left shortly after 4a when a lot of the freelancers did.

Ah, that'd be the cause of the problem then.
