   this plugin doesn't work like i think, it only upgrade to current point release example if now i use 3.4.2, plugin will only update to 3.4.x (no 3.5)

   even i choose "bleeding edge nightiles", still download from 3.4-latest.zip rather than 3.5-latest.zip or nightly-builds-latest.zip

    i also tried to upgrade from 3.4.2, and ended up with 3.4.3-alpha. Which makes a certain kind of sense, but I wanted 3.5.2 beta and can't see how to do that.

    Just installed 0.96 and this problem persists.

    Whenever I hit "Updates" it shows there's an update of WP available, but it always instals 3.4-latest and I'm getting 3.4 beta 3.

    +1 to this. The latest the plugin allows me to download is the 3.4 nightly build. No 3.5RC.

    Still not resolved. Says updates available but keeps installing 3.4.3-beta1 over and over again. :/

    Still doesn't work.

    Dashboard -> updates + Update now installs WordPress-3.4.3 instead of the real version which is wordpress-3.5-RC4-23121 so any suggestions on what to do now?

    Download nightly productes wordpress-3.4-latest.zip which is also wrong.

    You need to first go to:

    Tools > Beta Testing

    Then select "Bleeding edge nightlies" and Save.

    Now, when you go back to Dashboard > Updates and Upgrade, it will be version 3.5.

    Thanks, Bryan

    Thanks Bryan, I had no idea that a release candidate would be found on the "Bleeding edge". I now have 3.5-RC5-23141 installed!

    FEATURE REQUEST
    How about having the plugin display what is available on the various stream as a banner that updates whenever this changes, and has to be manually cleared. Possible?

    A really valuable plugin. Just a bit confusing.

    Stay with 3.4.2 for now. 3.5 has been a real pain for me because I use short codes a lot in visual. It will not function properly with some of my plugins as well. I am going to go back to 3.4.2 as soon as I look up how to install an older version of WP.

    Best of luck!!

    @Micheal - Security wise, that's never a good compromise. It's been weeks since 3.5 stable was out.

    If plugin authors haven't fixed their broken plugins by now you have to ask yourself if that's really a reliable plugin in the first place. You can probably find a working, up-to-date plugin to replace whatever feature is being offered in the broken one.

    Or perhaps whatever bug you're experiencing is completely unknown to the plugin authors. Have you given them a quick note about the issues in the plugin's support forum?

    I agree with @Bryan Hadaway, it is not advisable to run an older version of WordPress. Security is a must for WordPress. There are too many people out in this world that would love to hack your CMS "WordPress".

    If plugin authors have not updated a plugin for a while and too many people are having issues with that plugin then I suggest you try and patch it if you have PHP knowledge or you change the plugin to an alternative.

    I still see too many people using WordPress 3.3.2 out in the market. All I can say is they better have some great security in place or else they run the risk of getting hacked.

    My humble opinion......
