As much as I look forward to new versions of WP, I dread updating every WP installation I own. It’s a boring and tedious process. It would be great if there was some way to automate the process … oh wait … there is! It’s called WordPress Automatic Upgrade. I just upgraded this installation in less than 3 minutes. Sweet. Uh, just don’t forget to reactivate all your plugins after the installation is complete.

Update: I’ve discovered some bugs with this plugin. Specifically it seems to reset you character encoding to UTF-6 which will lead to all sorts of residule problems. You’ll need to change it back to UTF-8 once you’ve run the upgrade.
