WordPress 2.3 is live and Plugin Update Notification is working.

Now we need the ability to update these plugins using the dashboard, pretty much like I can do at an SMF forum. That would be wicked. :D

The plugin repository needs to update a text file or RSS file for each and every plugin on the repository, so that a plugin update checker can be integrated to read this file for each plugin and compare it to the installed version. Simple and effective.

WordPress should do exactly the same and read a text file that contains a version number, then compare it to the installed version, simple! It would be extremely easy to do it for WordPress yet it hasn't been done, I don't see why not though.

It would take about half the fear out of updating my much used but outdated WP2.04 blog--and then I could use some of the great new plugins also!

I am in the process of making a plugin that enables other plugin developers to notify their users when a newer version of the plugin is available through a text file hosted on their web server.

It is useful but hard to get popular and thus makes it nearly useless if no plugins have the feature. If it was made compulsory to WordPress plugins, however, it would be extremely useful.

It will work with many wordpress.org hosted plugins, I am going to improve the update functionality within the next few days for the 0.2 release.

Download it here and post your comments:

I am currently having some difficulties determining the svn path for some of the plugins but I hope to solve them until the final release.

However, I have released a preview version for public testing at http://henning.imaginemore.de/the-road-to-02/38/ which should be able to automatically update most of the wordpress.org plugins.

I think the main problem with automatic update checking is the diversity of plugin hosting sites. Maybe the readme.txt file specification could be extended to provide a link for update checking that the plugin author may set to her favourite download service.

Hope that our recently released Plugin WP Plugins Tracker addresses your needs.

This plugin page is http://www.wp-plugins-db.org/wp-plugins-tracker

This uses the Plugin database at wp-plugins-db.org to achive this functinality.

By one click from your admin panel one can findout the new releases of the plugins they are using, we are in the process of updating this database to make it up to date. We are planning to work on the themes part also in the near feature.
