The way you do releases is perfect. You're minimizing risk... something too few apps with the auto update feature do nowadays. Thanks for the continued support and great work, this client has made my WoW life loads better!

The one feature I cannot find that I think should be in there, is an option/button to force a manual update. Essentially to make the application do an update search at that time for all the managed addons. I've ran into the issue before where the update popup will display but then close out after so long. Then there really isn't any way to see what the message said...if it was for an addon or just a news blurb. Either an update option or an event log to keep track of all the popup messages received that can be looked over. Throw that in and the app will be perfect.

Addon update messages stay for a very very long time.. I think it's 10 hours by default. The only thing you risk missing is gems like this news post :)

I'd like to see a option for auto-updates with like a 3 choice setup, (Manually install updates, Automatically install critical Updates, or Automatically install all Update) =)

I think it's great that you've added the wowace file addons to your site.

But one of the main features of their client (wowaceupdater) that I Really like, is that it's a one button update process that grabs All of the latest updates in one go.

With your current client, I have to go to each individual page and manually click on a button to download the one mod, then have to go to the next mod page, etc..

The other option is the 'Run Executables' is On by default in your settings. I really think this needs to be defaulted to Off, or at least ask for confirmation before doing so, since .exe are a prime method of keylogger issues.

It currently won't run them at all but once it gets implemented it will prompt you. If you turn it off it will just install it and ignore it. Leaving it up to you what you want to do with it.

Definately the best way to publish updates. If you force an auto-update on people but something's borked then you end up with a lot of people with bust clients that might not be able to auto-update to a fixed release, forcing them all back to the site to update. Keep up the great work asp (and co) - it's working a treat so far :)

I think so far as suggestions go I can only reiterate what others have said. An option to force a search on all addons to be certain there's no updates would be nice. I'm assuming atm it just pings now and then to check for updates? If we know one's out (say, from a message in guild) it'd be great to just hit a button to save digging it up on the site again.

Some way to auto-update without having to visit the page directly would be a huge boost too. Can we have a seperate button on the "Addon X has been updated" window that just heads straight for the psyn? One better would of course be an "update all" button/link someplace.

Only other thing that springs to mind would be some more filtering in there. I don't necessarily want to see news posts about a game that I never have or never will play. To be able to filter it out a bit to just the stuff that interests me would be a huge boost.

Once again, keep up the great work. I'm sure we're all thankful for the effort you put in even though you won't be told that often enough :)

Filtering is actually already in there. It just isn't being respected by the website. We got pretty heavily overwhelmed by the number of requests we got and it was decided that we would switch over to a non- user-specific feed until we have a more efficient way of generating feeds for all users. It's something we will be enabling again in the future.
