OOo 3.0 Beta and auto-update

Post by stevedperkins »

If you're running the public beta of OOo 3.0, will the automatic update feature recognize when new beta builds (and/or the 3.0 production release) come out, or will you have to update manually until the full production version is released?

I'm almost positive that it has already checked and notified me of a new beta build at some point, but it's been a while since a new build was released so I could be mis-remembering.

The OOo 3.0 update feature is just a notification. Maybe it will download the new version for you, but you still have to re-install the full beast.

In other words, OOo's update feature is not as nice as the one in Firefox 2.0.
