The new tdm_installer tools is the intended replacement for tdm_updater. It can install, upgrade, or downgrade TDM to any Standalone 2.x version.
Stgatilov has worked on this project since at least 2.06.
tdm_installer is a much better way to installer or upgrade The Dark Mod.
It is capable of doing granular comparisons of files in your darkmod install directory and only updating files that need changes, thus saving significant time during the upgrade process.
It can also be used to downgrade to older TDM versions or install development, alpha, and beta versions.
All this is done in an easy step-by-step GUI interface.
