The Update Manager for Joomla! is one of the oldest update managers around having been originally released in January 2006 for Joomla! 1.0 and previously only available as part of the Advanced Tools package. The latest update manager is now available both as part of the Advanced Tools collection or stand alone. This update manager provides the ability for you to easily and effectively keep up to date with the latest release of Joomla!. It supports the ability to use cURL or PHP wrappers to download files with both supporting the use of proxies to handle downloads on networks where direct internet access may not be available. The tool also provides support for using FTP mode on sites with Joomla!'s 1.5 extractor or a back ported copy of the new Joomla! 1.6 extractor libraries. There is support for manually uploading packages to the site and using this local version and the extension has the ability to update itself and can be prevented from installing an update if the version of the component may not handle the update correctly. Best of all, this extension is completely free!
