Can you please enlighten me on the LiveCode versions?

For example:

Add rsync as an option to this lesson:
http://lessons.runrev.com/m/4071/l/78702-opening-a-stack-from-the-server

go url rsync("http://techsupport.on-rev.com/MainApplication.livecode")

Using rsync, LiveCode server will send only updated/changed bytes
and LiveCode engine will rebuild the stack/file on memory (or temp folder)
and optionally, save the new stack/file to disk while keeping a backup...
