It would be really nice if there was an automatic update option from within the client. I don’t know if it is technically possible, but this sort of thing is a PITA for a lot of people and it contributes to what makes crypto un-reachable to ‘normal’ folk.

While at least the announcement of available updates can be made easily within the client, there is an automatic update based on the package maintenance mechanism for some of the Linux distributions already

Hey Rob, that’s a great idea. The client does have a messaging system, which can be used, to alert in emergencies.

Wellenreiter : Do we know which GNU Linux distributions? .

Automated update is working for all Suse distributions
I need to figure out, what needs to be done for Ubuntu and Debian, but here a manual action during installation will be needed to add the repositories to the automated update on these distributions.
Later this step can be included in the installation script I hope.
Basically what needs to be done is to add the software repository containing the installation package to the trusted repositories for the distribution.
This should be no problem for an experienced administrator, but could be a problem for the average user.

I’m on 0.8.5 beta. ;D Cheers.

I think it just distinguished the versions, at this early stage.

All’s good if you update now.

I’ll check the compile guides are right, again.
