Updated the “Updating” instructions in the README. Sadly its a bit more
convoluted in practice than just “import the new profile package”.
I have submitted a feature request on the VA formus to make it less of a hassle
in the future. Until theres a better way I will include all profiles that have
been updated on the release pages in addition to the profile package. That way
you only have to go through the process of deleting the old profile, importing
the new one and fixing the includes for profiles that have actually changed.

## Updating ##
If you have followed the steps outlined above closely, updating will be
exceedingly simple: just download the new VoiceAttack package, import, done!
Sadly VoiceAttack doesnt let you overwrite an existing profile when you import
a different (newer) version of it. So youll have to follow these steps:
Should VoiceAttack report any conflicts, either tell it to overwrite the
commands or start from a clean slate by deleting the profiles manually and then
re-importing. Again, if you have followed the recommended installation
guidelines this will not cause you to lose any settings or changes you have
made.
1. Look at the release page and see which profiles have been updated (theyll
also be attached as single `.vap` files to the release)
1. Delete these profiles from your VoiceAttack.
1. Import the updated profiles.
1. Fix all profiles that include the updated profiles. You are going to have to
re-add the includes (“Edit Profile” → “Options” → “Include commands from
other profiles”).
You could also delete _all_ the profiles, then re-import the entire release
package (the `.vax` file). You will still have to fix the includes.
If you have followed the installation instructions above, you will not lose any
of the changes you have made since they will be in a separate profile. **Do not
delete** that profile!
If you delete anything by accident or something didnt work out quite like you
intended, you can find backups of VoiceAttacks data file in
`%AppData%\VoiceAttack\Backup`. They get saved every time you change settings or
profiles. To restore, close VoiceAttack, find the file with the right timestamp
just before you made the changes, copy it to the parent directory, remove the
old “VoiceAttack.dat” file and rename the backup to that.
