RainVersion is a simple Rainmeter skin that displays the current installed Rainmeter version. It uses AutoIt to get the executable's version. You can use it when testing for bugs in specific beta revisions, and you want to take a look at the version quickly.
You can also completely change the looks of the skin, and the .au3 is included, if you want to make changes.
Rainmeter 2.4.0 r1598 is required.
Changelog:
v1.22: Small RegExp error
v1.21: Fixed a problem where only IE logged in users would be notified about the update (thanks to UnforgivenRevival and Kaelri)
Changed UpdateRate to every 12hours
v1.2: Added the ability to check for a new version
v1.1: Fixed a problem where the AutoIt .exe wouldn't send the !bangs to the correct config
v1.0: Initial Release
P.S: I would really like to see a built-in variable returning the version in the future!

Update!: Now RainVersion has the ability to check if a new Rainmeter version is released, and directly link you to the download. It uses Rainmeter's google code page and it's able to identify any change in the version's number, either important (2.2 vs 2.4) or unimportant (revision numbers).

I was told to come over here from deviantart about RainVersion not showing updates. There does appear to be 1 error related to this skin. Posted in the attachments.
Edit: the only thing that I manually changed was the update rate. Instead of every 24 hrs, I made it check every 12 hrs. Just tried to change it back to see, With no luck. It never has shown the update since I downloaded.
Edit2: Just did a reinstall from deviantart, With no luck. Still the same error

What I meant is to post it here, but I guess a moderator/admin can merge the threads. Sorry for the missunderstanding.
Back to the skin. I just installed the deviantart version over mine and it works. Did you try restarting rainmeter? Try to connect to the website and parse it using RainRegExp. Does it display correctly?

Sorry for posting in the wrong place. Feel free to move. Yes I have tried exiting and restarting Rainmeter, Thinking the webparser got stuck again, With no luck. This is what RainRegExp shows:

I cannot understand why the website isn't parsed. Using the exactly same strings I get a match:
I can see that RainRegExp is connected to the site successfully, but could you try to load it in your browser?
I don't know what else to propose. Is anyone else having this problem?

I see the same results as UnforgivenRevival. The page may display differently depending on your location - the tags you're trying to match do not exist for us. If you can save a fully copy of the page in RainRegExp and upload it here, we may be able to find a RegExp that will work for all versions (or at the very least, these two) versions of the page.
Maybe it has something to do with the cookies? I'm logged in Google Code everytime I visit, even in IE (due to an Android app requiring authentication); so there must be a cookie.
EDIT: That's it. If I sign out, I get the same results. I will try to fix it now.
