how does wordpress do the automatic updates (via the dashboard)

  • Guys got some questions…

    1. how does wordpress do the automatic updates (via the dashboard)?

    2. does it overwrites the existing files?

    3. or does it inserts the updates via markers in the source itself?

    4. does it have any reports which files have been succeffully did an overwrite update?

    thank you samuel.

    got a last question.

    what if i got a 3.0.1 version of wordpress… and then i am going to update it to 3.0.5, how does wordpress update it?

    does it updates sequencely via the succeeding versions?

    would it be like it will update it to 3.0.2 then 3.0.3 …up to 3.0.5?

    sorry but just curious on how it updates, and really worried upon my blog when it crashes.

    thank you.

    no it doesn’t do it incrementally – most upgrades work flawlessly
