Initial release.

  • Eligibility engine for plugins, themes, core branches and translations, with per-item exclusions kept in sync with the native auto-update options
  • Releases that wordpress.org has flagged with disable_autoupdate — pulled, or found harmful — are never installed, whatever the rest of the policy allows
  • Maintenance window with weekday selection, correct across midnight
  • Scheduled update pass on the plugin's own cron event, leaving every WordPress core event untouched
  • Safety delay of 1 to 90 days from a version's first sighting, covering plugins, themes and core
  • Update log built from automatic_updates_complete and upgrader_process_complete, with versions before and after, trigger source and outcome
  • E-mail alerts for failed updates, installed updates and available updates, sent one message per recipient so addresses are never disclosed to each other
  • Status screen and Site Health test covering DISALLOW_FILE_MODS, AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED, WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE, DISABLE_WP_CRON, third-party filters, filesystem access, version control, WP-Cron lateness and the recurrence of the core update-check events
  • Compatibility report and optional alert for plugins whose author has stopped declaring support for recent WordPress releases, counted against the real release history; plugins with no declaration, and plugins outside wordpress.org, are reported as such
  • Test e-mail button on the Status screen
  • Non-destructive import of Companion Auto Update settings
  • manage_update_pilot capability, grantable to editors and authors; running an update pass additionally requires permission to install updates
