Sindre,
Thank you for the fantastic work you continue to do. I have been using the app for quite some time and haven't been disappointed yet.

Feature Request: Add an auto-update feature to the application so we can update the software from the admin console.

Thanks again for all your hard work!

While this would be cool, I can't imagine it'd be easy... think about it: to update the program, the service needs to stop so that the files can be replaced. But if the service itself is the one performing the upgrade, how can it comtinue if the service is stopped?

Catch 22...

I could forsee Subsonic-agent.exe being able to handle the work, but sometimes that is updated as well. And I believe it only runs on Windows anyway...

But it would be very cool if it could be implimented...

It isn't so hard, almost every app has auto update :) I would have it automated if it would take me more time, but now once in a few months, only stop server, replace war and start server - no more then 1 minute :)

So low-priority on my list
