This new beta version has the long anticipated, and rumored to not exist, auto-update mechanism. It is revamped. Depending on your download speed it can take as little as 2 seconds to update your installation. No fuss, no mess. It just does it. For now, I've just got a button 'Try automatic upgrade'. In the future, I'll use this as the primary mechanism, once it is well tested, and turns out to be suited for the job. So, the NEXT update you'll get to actually try out this mechanism. I think it should work well. It self-downloads, which may be the only point of contention, though does use the general Internet Explorer settings as far as proxies go.
In the meantime, as always, this is a beta so may contain bugs or other errata. So, now you all will be waiting for me to issue the next update, eh? ;)
Again, this is a beta version. In fact, minor issues are KNOWN to exist. Some things I've had reported I've not yet fixed. The good news is you can use this cool new updater to get the fixes ;)
This new version is v4.09.23 beta and will be coming in the next few minutes after this post.
