After some hours of thinking - in my humble opinion a autoupdate feature could break too much. Not only that there could features changed, removed or added that could break the users spam fighting, there are also some important dependencies for the used (or not) plugins. It is so easy to configure the notify feature and to get an email about new versions (a text line is added to the GUI in 0.6.03), to open the GUI and to click on the link in top menu -> download the new assp.pl directly in to the base dir -> if autorestart and the assp.pl - change - watching is configured, assp will do an automatic syntax check and restart.
I don't like the idea to restrict users of outdated versions from using Griplist or anything else. If the public version is out, anyone is free to use the version he like. For the current RC it would be nice, if most 'testers' upgrade to the latest version. On Fritz's webpage is the change log (thanks Fritz), if you want to know, what has changed and what is fixed in which version.

My small server that handles only a few clients and who are understanding if their mail goes down for an hour or so - no problem with auto updates there. I typically try the new versions there first, and if all is well for a couple of days, I update my big box.

I definitely saw this in my former life in corporate America. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
