Update in progress.
Please send a PM the next time too.
I simply didn't see the second update in the forum.

I will. Is there possible to configure automatic update?

Not by the game itself.
I would have to write some linux scripts for automatic update.

Problems:

When to make updates?
Sometimes at night players are on the servers.
Not good to kill the server and make updates.

Updates can make problems so that the server does not start anymore or that plugins are not working anymore. And so on.
An automatic update would kill the servers then.

When I find some time I will think about some semi automatic update.
Maybe that trusted admins can trigger an update for each server manually.
They could pick an empty server and start the upgrade.
Then if everything seems to be fine, they could trigger updates for the others servers when the servers are empty.

Upgrade is finished now by the way :-)

Good! Since im here all time or players ask me, i 1st all time notice updates and allways inform you. In future i will send u pm cuz of faster updating.
