There is absolutely nothing wrong with a - discreet - message that the current version is out of date, unsupported, potentially with bugs-I-mean-undocumented-features - and a nice shiny new one is available for immediate update. In fact, having a manual update button could be a good thing. If you wanted to go "all the way" and have the changelog available prior to the update, so an admin knows what to look for immediately in the way of new configuration, features, or likely, um..., breakages - that would be a nice bit of polish. -- Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
