Auto Upgrade in PW 2.5

[Nico Knoll]

Hey,

I'm not sure if it already exists or not, but it would be nice if ProcessWire would notify me if a new version is available and offer a auto upgrade option (like with the modules).

I think only notifying, but no auto upgrade. It was discussed earlier. You need to manually compare and update .htaccess and site/config.php agianst a new version.

Mostly the wire folder has no write access, or at least shouldn't have it.

Yes I can see issues with auto upgrade, though a new version available module might be useful for some.

Of course, one of the things about how I use PW is that I really don't have a huge need to upgrade since the site is built round whatever the version was at the time. There is also not the pressure to upgrade unlike certain other systems.....

@Joss: You're certainly right. Same game here. But at least a notification - as Horst mentioned - would be nice

Maybe a general notification module that can be inserted into a dashboard (or perhaps can be used in a couple of ways) that looks at updates of modules too?
