Please review http://www.endian.it/en/community/about/compare/ -- 
Endian, in its Enterprise version, does support upgrades.  The Community 
version, on the other hand, only includes community support sans 
upgrade-ability.  As a workaround, you can theoretically backup your 
firewall configuration, install the new version when it's released, and 
restore the backup; but YMMV -- a few users, myself included, have 
reported difficulties restoring their backups.

I really do want to be in love with EFW, but the release of 2.0 has 
really let me down.  IMO, it is not yet ready for production and needs 
further regression testing and problem resolution.  Just last night, I 
revisited pfSense <http://pfsense.com/> (which /does/ support upgrades 
among other things) because my EFW 1) kept on losing its connection to 
the outside world -- the only way to regain the connection was to 
reboot; 2) didn't connect automatically on boot; and 3) could not keep 
itself in sync with No-IP.com at all.
