Why didn't MBAM update itself?

I just built a W-8.1 PC. On my USB flash drive of stuff, I had MBAM 3.1, which I installed. I retained Windows Defender. But then I noticed that Windows Defender was not actually running (the infamous error 577). I went round and round, deactivating, debugging, and reactivating. Then I noticed that 3.2 had been released, so I installed it. So far, so good with respect to Windows Defender. But why didn't MBAM update itself with program updates? Is 3.2 better at this? I noticed the beta option, but I don't think I want to accept that.

We meter out updates over time for a variety of reasons. However starting in 3.2, when you click the Check for Application Updates, it will bypass the meter and download the application update if it's available

Thanks for the reply. I'm glad you guys fixed the update to force a download of the latest version.
