FYI - Recent Changes to Home Updater App Library

[dking02]

FYI: I have noticed the following unannounced recent changes to the Home Updater App Library. The corresponding category of the app is abbreviated in parentheses after the app name below.

I recommend (1) that changes to the App Library be promptly announced by an item in the Home Updater forum rather than waiting for a Home Updater software release and (2) that the status of any related new app requests now be changed from 'SUBMITTED' to 'SHIPPED' in the Ideas Portal.
