I took the bull by the horns tonight and got the application side and server side portions of the new product Updater almost done. I just lack a little more implementation, but it is all designed and properly working. I am eager to roll this out, as I know users have been wanting to see changes before they choose to update or not. Also, I know they want to validate their license prior to upgrade. I've already started putting revisions in the database, which will be the biggest change to get used to. We're almost there ;).
Yes, I do plan to allow for automated updates. In some cases it won't be feasible, but in most it will. So, you can opt-in for those in the near future. That will probably come in v4.2. As you can see from the silent upgrade already included in the ZIP distribution, I am close to achieving that goal. The only remaining portion is having Process Lasso self-download and execute really, easy stuff.
I can not issue a new beta at this time due to the updater being in this half-implemented state. There will likely be one in the next 12-24 hours though, after I get a brief nap. As soon as the implementation is done, it is going up for testing.
v4.1 really will be nice. I am so eager. Gotta do it step by step though, day by day.
