Improvements to auto-update functionality

Hi,
At the moment, the auto-update function is great for development, but the user experience sucks - the screen goes black, with not even a spinning "loading" icon for the user to know that something is happening.

Is it feasible to offer the option to do this in two stages?

1) check if there is a new version available?
2) install the update

and then to allow developers to do the following:

  1. Check for new update

  2. If an update is available, inform the user

  3. Allow the user to press a button to update

  4. Show the user a message to say "the screen will go black"

  5. User presses "continue"

  6. Install the update.

    Regards,
    Andy
