Finally! I have been waiting for this for a while. From v1.259, Hudson is now able to update itself automatically (as long as you have installed Hudson as a Windows Service — granted, this might not be the general case).
Another enhancement in v1.259 is that a Hudson distribution can be bundled with plugins. Hudson will extract them properly at first run (which it didn’t do before). Cool, too.
Great news! Thanks for reviewing the change list for us.
