Since the release of Wordpress 2.7 every update can be automatically deployed with a click of a button and makes upgrades and changes very easy.thanks for updating

WPs upgrade path in 2.7.1 is three steps back from what was managed under wpau. WP has a lot of catching up to do.

Sad to see this plug-in go... I dislike the way WPs upgrade utility overwrites settings, which is a real pain in the wotsit!

Well, I'm still using it for upgrade my plugins and even I don't know if would be possible to use it for Wordpress upgrade.

I believe the automatically upgrade option of Wordpress is no so easy as this amazing plugin.

Of all the plugins out there Keith, I think yours was the most essential. Thanks for a great plugin and I agree, WordPress should thank you. I bet they even looked at your code.

Like all the other accolades - thanks for the update! I'm stoked Wordpress is now including this into the fold of it's core package. It just goes to show you how valuable and necessary this plugin is to anyone who uses Wordpress! Thanks again.

I can't tell you how much I appreciated this plug-in. It helped me keep several sites up-to-date and safe.

Thank you!

Man, it was one of the best plugins I ever used.

I haven't gone to 2.7 yet, but from what I'm hearing about the "built-in" automatic upgrade, it's not nearly as seamless as yours...

I kind of hope you'll maintain it just a little longer -- or convince the WordPress developers to set theirs up like yours.

I loved how it was basically foolproof -- guided you through the process by turning off the the plugins, making backups, putting site in maintenance mode, and keeping a log of the changes.

It was a model of an excellent plugin.

Please consider offering a few more updates until WP gets their sh*t together. (I always hate the dot-zero upgrades to WP -- always buggy as hell and breaks all sorts of plugins and themes.)

And I truly hope WP considers adopting your method of guiding the user through the process. It was something I could even let my clients do with very little hand-holding.

Hope to see more plugins from you!

I'm sorry to see this plugin die but at the same time I'm very happy that there will be an update feature built in to 2.7. Thanks and best of luck.

I appreciate your plugin very much. Before you quit, might you make a version for Wordpress MU? Its quite annoying to upgrade and they haven't built into the core and won't for a while I imagine. thx again.

I just found this plugin today!

I installed it on a blog that I was unable to upgrade via cpanel\fantastico (had changed hosting plans). What a godsend for non techies!

However it's good to hear this feature will be standard for WP 2.7

Its a bitter-sweet moment, I'm sad that you'd have to retire the plugin, but happy that this is being implemented in WP2.7, if nothing atleast WordPress might've been taken some cues from this plugin ;)
Nevertheless, thank you very much for creating and writing this plugin, it has helped me immensely and made my WordPress upgrade procedure painless.
Kudos!

Thank you for your time, this plugin has been incredibly usefully for me.
Thank you for your hard work. Is it your plugin that is being directly included in version 2.7 or are they writing their own?

So are they using your code with a bit of modification or their own from scratch?

Thanks for all your time and trouble! As others have said, it is a wonderful piece of code. Although I am new to WP, I am not new to volunteering free time to others online.

Thanks again!!

i have been using wau till now and i have to say that it is a great plugin. I also knew that the Wp guys were preparing something like this plugin and well, it is good. the automatic upgrade feature is something which fits into Wordpress naturally, and it is a shame that we had to wait for a long time like this. anyway..thanks for WAU it has been serving all of us excellently! I also hope that the Wordpress team would acknowledge your work!
