Wish Auto-Update

[wonder]

Erel, would it be possible to have (in the future) B4J auto-updating?

 

[Douglas Farias]

+1 this is very important

 

[Erel]

I think that it is better to allow the developer to manually upgrade the development tool when appropriate (or even install the new version in a new folder).

I agree with Erel, I don't want things to mysteriously break due to some update I didn't know about.

Well, I think auto-updating doesn't have to be automatic, but to control actual versions of B4X products (I work with all three) would help if the program:

• Could check the installed and new version and popup a message
  
• Had an option to Check actual version (for example at Help--> About menu option --> Version installed vs actual version)
• At this menu, could display dialog with the update's info or a link to the forums post that explain the new version updates (or to the version history updates)
• If possible, a link to the update file B4X new version (maybe this is more difficult because the update's actual distribution is by mail)
