An upgrade will appear with "From version xx to yy" as seen in this
example<https://sugardextrose.org/attachments/download/887/Screenshot%20of%20_Home_.png>which
will be pre-selected with a check-mark while an activity that is
'new' to the image will have "New Version" and be un-checked. The chart
activity is not
installed<http://build.laptop.org.au/xo/os/au888/XO-1.75/au888.activities.txt>on
the au888 image.

You would have to push the "Install selected" button to start the install
process.
