Let me chime in before philippe_44 has his say.

I've noticed update is not automatic too. What I do is:
- uncheck the plugin,
- restart LMS,
- check the plugin, DO NOTHING FOR A FEW MINUTES (go get a coffee)
while LMS displays a popup that says "You have to reboot". 
In other words, do not dismiss the popup. Unless this was fixed recently
(I just updated my LMS, I don't know yet), dismissing the popup was in
fact interrupting plugin download...
- dismiss the popup finally, and restart LMS
This should propel you to version -dev-9 at least. (In case the
restarted LMS hasn't installed the plugin, and asks for a restart, it
means you dismissed the popup too early.)

About the Airport Express, I use the square hockey puck, the current
version, model A1392. For me it is very stable, never disappears.
However in some early versions of the plugin I had a Libratone device
that had a tendency to vanish. Philippe_44 advised a mitigation strategy
that worked well for me: 
- go to Settings>Advanced>AirPlay Bridge,
- in the middle section of the page, with "[default parameters]"
selected, look at the value used in player discovery options: "Player is
enabled <yes> but removed after XX failed scans". In my LMS I can read
30 here. Some time ago the default was 3.
- select the player corresponding to you AE device in the players
drop-down menu, and jack up this variable value,
- Press apply. The bridge restarts and will rediscover your players,
and after a little while you should hopefully get a non-vanishing
player.
For me, player removal after 30 failed scans solved my problem.

I would also recommend to erase the raopbridge.xml configuration file
and let the bridge generate a new one. It is possible that the xml file
used by -dev-9 has a different structure or values that of your current
-dev-6 config file.
