Hi Eddie,
We understand the issue, but the latest version of Revolution Slider that we are supporting is still 6.1.1. Since the Revolution Slider you have is a bundled with the X, we provide the updates for these extensions rather than from the plugin developers automatic updater.
We always try and upgrade as soon as possible when a new plugin release is made to ensure our customers are using the latest version. This isn’t always possible for example if we submit an update to Envato and our update is in review while a new plugin version comes out, that version would have to wait for our next update.
If a plugin includes any major fixes, for example, a security issue, or a plugin breaking bug that prevents all functionality we update right away.
If a plugin update just includes minor bug fixes or improvements, then generally we wait to bundle that version until our planned update is ready to come out.
I’ve submitted this to our issue tracker so the developers will be made aware of it.
Thank you for understanding,
