How about updating the ā€˜source release dateā€™ for these tasks when they are updated

The ā€œinstall latest automation plan engineā€ task has a source date of 10/2/2012

Also there is no note to what version is being updated to, without looking at the action and seeing the zip file name being downloaded.
