Buddypress Themes update, why it happens so often?

Just wondering why themes update so often. I got Scholar Theme two days ago which said was updated on 03/12/10 and today, this same theme is updated again.

Can any one give a change log or reason why it was updated?

Thanks.

    @wjhwpmu: BuddyPress 1.2.2 then shortly after the same day 1.2.2.1 dropped so had to update our themes. On every theme is a changelog and when it’s updated the reason is listed by each version. Also the theme itself was not updated on the 12th that was documentation rather than the theme no changelog comment = no theme files were updated and no changelog was listed for that date. We are currently going over all our theme documentation and things therefore you may see it saying it’s changed however unless you see a changelog note or new file number listed under see other versions it has not.

    Also I will note if we do fix a bug then it’s best to update however if you see in changelog you can make your call. If you also use the parent and child themes you can change files in the child until your hearts content safe in the knowledge you can apply any update as you will without even having those files changed so long as you only ever update the parent.

    This looks that themes will be continue updating as long as changes occur in WPMU, BUDDYPRESS or BBPRESS.

    Prime member has free download. If I stop my membership in the future, do I still get update free through theme update?

    Thanks.
