Notes for users already running OpenELEC
we have an update feature. Its disabled by default, so you get only an information about an new update. you can enable the automatic update function if you edit /storage/.config/update.conf or "update.conf" via samba in the "Configfiles" share to.
AUTOUPDATE="auto"
So the update will be downloaded and extracted correctly after an new boot (or it looks every 6 hours for an update). You will be informed by an Message. After all is downloaded and extracted there is another Message that you can reboot. After this reboot the update will be installed automatically (the system reboots again after a few seconds)
