I just noticed that I only get the latest version of certain plugins via Plugin and Content Manager (PCM) if I uninstall and then reinstall the packages. Is this intended? or is there some timed updates going on? in my opinion the PCM should keep the plugins up to date on its own or should at least offer some kind of update button, is there something like this planned (or maybe implemented in 6.99)?
Does this refresh the plugins tho? In my case I had a plugin which stayed at version 1.0.2 even after pressing refresh while version 1.0.5 was already available (confirmed after reinstalling the plugin).
The current development nightly builds (version 6.99) have included a new auto update functionality for the plugins installed using PCM Post-v6 new features and development news - #66 by craftyjon. It will be included in the upcoming v7 release, and is not planned to be included in any 6.0 release currently.
