Should I bother ‘upgrading’ to a later SVN release or leave things ‘as-is’ since I am having no issues?
Not really, there aren’t significant updates if you haven’t been having problems. Hopefully I’ll soon have some compelling reasons to update, but not yet.
Also – is there a way to ‘tell’ Firefly to check for stable updates?
Soon I’ll be integrating sparkle into the mac build, and I’ll try and leverage the same update infrastructure for win32, but it will almost certainly be well after the mac version has auto-update.
