Starting with Processing 3, we also send a list of what Libraries, Modes, and Tools that you have installed. We added this because of the difficulty we had during the 3.0 release process because we had no information about what's used most commonly across the hundreds of thousands of people who use Processing. We wanted to figure out where to concentrate what little volunteer time we had toward helping authors of contributions to get them updated, or knowing when we might need to pick up the slack if an author had disappeared.

If the network connection causes you trouble, or if you're ~~exceptionally paranoid~~ uncomfortable with sharing the list of things you've installed using the Contribution Manager (the dialog box that shows up when you do *Manage Libraries…* or *Manage Modes…*, it can be shut off inside the Preferences window. Shutting off the update checks also means that the Contribution Manager will not work, because it needs access to the network as well. This also means that you'll need to manually install Libraries, Modes, and Tools.
