Topic: automatic upgrade / security alerts. mods & plugins too?

hi all.  i really like the "Check for upgrade" link in the admin section of punbb.  this little feature is great!

i wish it also checked your installed mods and plugins.

is there already something like this? 

i've just made a couple of modules and i was thinking of how to let people know when a new version has come out.

thanks for any tips!

Re: automatic upgrade / security alerts. mods & plugins too?

I did try last week a software that did some kind of semi auto update (beside confirm it by hand it does all by himself); which was really, really nice indeed. Can't remember the damn soft's name sad

Maybe it was Typolight?

No, there isn't, although it would be a good extension when 1.3 comes out (it would be easier to include a URL to check in the XML). Of course, it would require mod authors (or PunRes) to keep a file and update it whenever a new version comes out.

As for automatic updates, you can get more information on that here:
