When will automated updates be available?

edited July 2011 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8
Currently, Vanilla Forums's upgrade/update process is a pain. I know that in the documentation, there's a statement that automatic updates are coming, but I'm not sure when it was written, nor do I know if the feature is actually being developed.

Knowing that version 2.0.18 is coming out soon, will automatic updates be added to the new version, is it slated for a later release, or is the feature being developed at all?

    Automatic updates will not be in 2.0.18

    If I had my way, we'd be able to get them into 2.1, but I can't promise that because we have some massive development ahead of us for that release.

    Or maybe Patch-Files that we can use on our Linux-Servers? Like f.e. Mediawiki ...

    I'm running 2.0.18 and automatic updates are definitely not there.

    Well, at least we have some awesome new features to look forward to.

    Thanks Tim.

    Does anyone have a shell script, or maybe using git (github) to update Vanilla that could share?

    Is anyone updating their Vanilla installs from github? I'd just like to know how possible this is before I start doing it.
