First off I'd like to say that with 4 of my 7 drafts done, I am absolutely loving the DD software! Last night I realized that without it I would have made some of my traditional errors but instead (according to DD) I dominated my league draft! It is so cool how I can enter the schedule for the year and start talking junk with each of the owners. After over 8 years of using FantasyIndex for draft prep and TheHuddle for my start/bench and FA help, I am strictly using FBG this year, and it looks good so far. This is pretty standard for my first 4 drafts (3 drafts and 1 auction):

I have 3 more (2 auctions and 1 draft) in the next three days. Hopefully this continues, and hopefully these projections pan out too.

My questions is why does a new DD version come out every few days? Do I need to update it every time? What changes? Is there a 'change log'?

Projections are updated as players value changes (Rudi Johnson anyone?)

Updating it brings in latest projections, ADP's and Depth Charts. Change log is only released as a ReadMe.txt with each download version.

but if I use an older version and "get latest projections", isn't that the same thing? I have 9.0m and I just saw that 9.0n is available.

Aren't these things updated when I "get latest projections":
(taken from readme file 9.0m)
Updated: Projections to August 26, 2008 (VBD M1)
Updated: Depth Charts to August 26, 2008
Updated: Strength of Schedule (SOS) to August 7, 2008
Updated: ADP to August 25, 2008

I am just in the habit of going right to "get latest projections" each time I open DD.

Yep. Every now and then Bruce updates the program to fix a bug or add a feature. Otherwise the new programs have all the items you get with a "get latest projections..."
