MySQL Installer stores a MySQL product catalog. The catalog can be updated either manually or automatically, and the catalog change history is also available.
The MySQL product catalog was added in MySQL Installer 1.4.0.
Manual updates
You can update the MySQL product catalog at any time by clicking Catalog on the Installer dashboard.
From there, click

You can configure MySQL Installer to automatically update the MySQL product catalog once per day. To enable this feature and set the update time, click the wrench icon on the Installer dashboard.
The next window configures the Automatic Catalog Update. Enable or disable this feature, and also set the hour.
This option uses the Windows Task Scheduler to schedule a task named "ManifestUpdate".
Change History
MySQL Installer tracks the change history for all of the MySQL products. Click Catalog from the dashboard, optionally update the catalog (or, toggle the Do not update at this time checkbox), click / , and then view the change history.
