NEW IN v2.4.0: AUTOMATIC HOTFIX INSTALLATION
We're the first to offer this.
We're the first to offer this.
Our plugins already download new versions automatically. Until now, you still had to copy the file yourself and restart the server to actually apply it. As of v2.4.0, that step is gone.
When you next start your server, any pending hotfixes are installed. Your server comes up already on the latest version.
- No copying files between your downloads and your plugin folder.
- No extra restart - the hotfix applies during your normal startup.
- Major updates still wait for you to apply them manually, so you always get to read the release notes first.
Every plugin in the KADevARK ecosystem works this way. Run one of ours, you get this on all of them.
