Dev4Press Updater 1.4

New version of the updater plugin is released with many important changes and several bugs fixed. This version will support new xScape upgrade backup feature coming next week, it has improved notification of new updates and updated interface files.

xScape 1.4.5 will be released next week with new panel called Theme Upgrade. This will allow you to specify what files to keep safe from upgrade. If you added something to functions.php, or you added custom page templates, new style or anything else, you can mark it for backup. When Dev4Press Updater attempts to upgrade the theme, theme will first perform backup of selected files. If that goes OK, theme will be upgraded, and than files you selected for backup will be restored.

Dev4Press Updater now can display update as a admin notice on the top of the screen. Both notice and dashboard Right now message can be not disabled from updater Settings panel.

Next major release of Updater will have several new features: it will allow update for framework only for all themes, it will add new update notification methods (email and number in the menu like the WP does) and install new plugin page (it can find all plugins your license supports and will be able to download them and install directly.

If you have any more problems, please report them in the forum or in comments.
