 * Does Automatic Plugin Updates update each plugin EVERY time that a new version
   is available or just for smaller updates?
 * For example, if a plugin is on the latest version (say 1.2.4) and a big change
   is made and version 2.0.0 becomes available, will the plugin auto-update?

 * This plugin doesn’t update the plugins itself, it turns on [automatic background updates](https://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates)
   for plugins. As far as we are aware all updates for plugins will be applied by
   that.
