It would be great if continua had an easier way to update. Now I have to download 65 megabytes every time you release an update (which does quite slow via your download servers). I think it is great to at least have an "update notification" feature in ContinuaCI so users actually become aware of updates. Next would be an automatic update which replaces the required files which would save your a \*lot\* of bandwidth and users a lot of time.

So, to summarize:

1) An update notification feature (a system event?)

2) Automatic update feature to udpate to the latest & greatest

Update notifications and and automatic installer download option are already in our to do list. We don’t however plan to run the installer automatically or patch individual files at this stage as this can be problematic.
