Auto Update of Forge (new Launcher)

UPDATE AUTOMATICALLY

Can forge please auto update to the latest version automatically by adding an option in the profile editor with the new launcher. As it is frustrating to also be version behind when modding my minecraft.

A option for the download could be the settings of:

Recommended Version

Latest Version

 

This would be helpful.  :)

As it sits, I have no legitimate reason for saying no more then I don't want to become homeless.

The little bit of money i do get through user's clicking the adfly is what pays my rent. Without it, I live on the streets.

So automated downloads are a no-go.

Also, it would be a major waist. Having things download every version esp when we do nights with quite a few builds.

Typically once you have Forge installed, you don't need to update it unless there is a new RB or one of your mods explicitly says that it needs a newer version.

The only caveat to that is when you report bugs ALWAYS verify you're on the latest version.

Aside from that, think of the bandwidth issues, we get enough server troubles with people manually checking for updates, automated would put the nail in the coffin.

 

But ya, mainly if you're a few versions behind its not a major deal. If you're hundreds of versions behind.. that's a different story.

auto update? no thanks. I had that with a favourite mod a while back and suddenly, like it or not, I had a buggy minecraft. We should ALWAYS get the choice.

As a compromise, can we get a notification when a new version of Forge for our version of Minecraft is released? That way we're automatically notified, we have the choice of updating, and we still have to manually download to help support the project.
