 * *** DISCLAIMER: VERY BETA ***
 * Update Manager is a new plugin-management-plugin to help keep your WordPress 
   installation up to date.
 * Update Manager checks the details of your installed plugins against the latest
   versions listed on [WP-Plugins.net](http://WP-Plugins.net) (the largest WordPress
   plugin library). If it finds a newer version is available it alerts you and provides
   a link to the wp-plugins page for download & instructions.
 * [Download v1.0 Here](http://www.mutube.com/downloads/wordpress/update-manager-v1.0.zip)
 * All feedback, suggestions & grand ideas welcome, [on my site](http://www.mutube.com/projects/wordpress/update-manager/)
   or here in the forums.

 * interesting premise.. unfortunately its a safe assumption that plugin writers
   dont go back and update their versions on wp-plugins.net (I might be wrong though).
   I can say with all honestly, that I dont.
 * Given that, it might be semi-useful, atleast for those plugins that ppl do take
   the time to update over there. I tend to only announce changes here, since logging
   in to so many sites just to announce a small change is tedious and a drag.

 * Fair point, although personally I’ve always kept wp-plugins up to date in preference
   to posting on these forums. One very good reason for doing that is that plugin
   data from the site is heavily syndicated. It’s also used as a basis for a few
   plugin-review sites that I’ve seen.
 * I’m pulling these numbers out of my behind, but generally speaking posting / 
   updating a plugin on wp-plugins.net results in an increase of >100 visitors &
   downloads.
 * Unfortunately the wp-plugins site itself doesn’t seem to be very actively maintained.
   I’d rather there was some DB connected more intimately with wordpress.org itself
   but until that happens I’ll make do with what there is!

 * **Updated v1.2 Now Available**
 * After a quick bug fix to sort some initial issues picked up by people, version
   1.1 is now available for download. In hindsight being “Very Beta” it doesn’t 
   make sense to start at 1.0, but it was late & there’s not a lot I can do about
   that now. Version 2.0 will be the one to watch. Probably.

 * The release fixes some of the connection bugs present in earlier versions, provides
   debugging information when things go wrong & features a few other small improvements
   to the internals.
 * Almost ready for an official/stable release.
    Give it a go & let’s hear the feedback!
