I'll just say the "check for updates" is being stupid for numerous reasons. Just easier to install the .zip file.
Can you elaborate on what makes the function to update the build automatically via the built-in "Check for Updates" versus manually downloading and extracting the updates, a displeasing process for the user?
It is dependent on special software, thus inflexible and cannot be interfaced. Furthermore, the autodownloader is buggy and often tended to delete the downloaded zip after installation. Also a nightmare for server operators.
Needless to say, I don't have a positive opinion on any autodownloaders
