In reply to: [Advanced Automatic Updates] Fatal error when trying to activate Auto updaterLogin via FTP or your cPanel file browser, then delete the
wp-content/plugins/automatic-updaterfolder to remove the plugin.It looks like your site is running WordPress 3.6.1, please note that this plugin requires WordPress 3.7 – I’ll be releasing an update shortly to no longer allow activation on older versions of WordPress.

In reply to: [Advanced Automatic Updates] Update major but NOT dev builds?It will only upgrade to dev/nightly builds if you have the WordPress Beta Tester plugin installed.
I’m thinking about to handle plugins and themes in a safer way – some plugins depend on certain WordPress versions, for example. Improvements here will be coming in a future release.
Thanks for pointing out that the Minor version checkbox wasn’t checked – I’ll get that fixed up!

In reply to: [Advanced Automatic Updates] FTP SettingsThose are optional settings, if you use key-based authentication, instead of username/password.

In reply to: [Advanced Automatic Updates] FTP SettingsYou can define your FTP settings in your wp-config file:

But, adding a UI for that sounds like a good idea.
Yes, the current functionality of the plugin will stay, I’ll just be swapping out all of my upgrade code, the equivalent of which now lives in Core.
Major updates, plugin and theme updates, as well as SVN updates, will remain.
Thanks for the bug report! I’ve fixed it in trunk, it’ll be out in the next release!

In reply to: [Advanced Automatic Updates] Feature req: Only core / security updatesOnly WP core
Only Plugins
WP core + pluginsThese are already available in the Automatic Updater settings.
WP core – Only security/minor updates
This will be coming in WordPress 3.7, so I’ll leave it out of Automatic Updater until that lands.
Email if there is a next big release, for example 3.5 -> 3.6
You’d be better served subscribing to WordPress Releases, which will give you more information about the release.

In reply to: [Advanced Automatic Updates] Fatal error blank page after automaic updateIt sounds rather like your host is killing the update process.
I’ve been working on some safety checks to try and prevent this, but it’s going to take some time to get them working properly.
In the mean time, I would recommend disabling Automatic Updater.

In reply to: [Advanced Automatic Updates] Self UpdateAs long as you’ve enabled plugin updates on the Automatic Updater settings page, Automatic Updater will happily update itself. 🙂

In reply to: [Advanced Automatic Updates] Plugin upgraded to a beta release?Oh, that’s super weird. Well, at least we have an answer. 🙂

In reply to: [Advanced Automatic Updates] Plugin upgraded to a beta release?Do you have either the Jetpack Beta Tester or the Plugin Beta Tester plugin installed?
Automatic Updater simply installs whatever is presented as the current version of the plugin – if either of these plugins are installed, they override the stable version, and make the beta version ‘current’.

In reply to: [Advanced Automatic Updates] Compatibility with WP Better EmailsIt doesn’t look like it. WP Better Emails only supports templating plain text emails, but Automatic Updater sends out HTML formatted emails.
The good news is, the HTML that Automatic Updater creates is compatible with WPBE – all the WPBE author needs to do is add an option to wrap HTML emails in the template, and it will work.

In reply to: [Advanced Automatic Updates] How does it handle modified php & css filesIt doesn’t handle modified PHP and CSS files, and this won’t be added.
If you need to customise your theme, you should instead look at creating a Child Theme.
