Not advisable to auto-update?

I thought it wasn't recommended that we let PTB 1.5 RC1 update itself? I've been waiting on an official 1.5.0.2 release of PTB accordingly...

Ditto. I thought it was

Ditto. I thought it was advised to wait. Any bugs that are noticable?

Works just fine for me.

I don't remember anyone saying not to let it auto-update.

John commented on the release here.

I have had no issues. I was making sure I had the latest for security reasons.

The release notes are here 15 security updates:

Johns comment

Johns comment (http://portableapps.com/node/1053#comment-6343) was to note that he was waiting for the official v1.5.0.2 release before he would do a portable release of v1.5.0.2, so that it would be up to date and we wouldn't have to trouble ourselves. At least, that was my understanding of it. John, any clarification?

My point..

..was that was the only comments that I saw on v1.5.0.2 from John.

Did update cause size of files to increase?

Did update cause size of files to increase, i.e. no longer UPX compressed?

Not mine

Basically same size, before and after.

...

Thunderbird and Firefox are no longer UPX compressed due to trademark redistribution issues (not very "free software"-like on Mozilla's part, but whatever). Plus, it messes up auto-update. John stopped UPX-compressing them a long time ago.
