<p>Monitors your WordPress installation for core, plugin and theme updates and emails you when they are available. This plugin is ideal if you don’t login to your WordPress admin regularly or you support a client’s website.</p>
<p><em>Features</em></p>
<ul>
<li>Set the interval of how often to check for updates; hourly, twice daily or daily.</li>
<li>Sets WordPress to check for updates more often meaning you get to know about updates sooner.</li>
<li>Get emailed about core, plugin and theme updates.</li>
<li>Chose if you want to be notified about active only themes and plugins updates.</li>
<li>Remove upgrade nag message to non-admin users.</li>
<li>For advanced users there are a number of filters and actions you can use. More coming soon.</li>
</ul>
<p>This plugin is a fork of <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/update-notifier/" rel="ugc">Update Notifier</a>. This plugin was forked because there seemed to be no further development on the existing plugin and there was no way to contact the original author to ask about taking ownership. WP Updates Notifier has the following improvements over Updates Notifier:</p>
<ul>
<li>Completely rewritten from the ground up using best practises for writing WordPress plugins</li>
<li>Code wrapped in a class so better namespace.</li>
<li>You can set the cron interval, allowing for more frequent checks.</li>
<li>Update checks trigger WordPress internal update check before notification.</li>
<li>Allows you to set the ‘from address’.</li>
<li>Allows you to set multiple ‘to addresses’.</li>
<li>Makes use of the Settings API.</li>
<li>A number of available hooks and filters for advanced users.</li>
<li>Active support and development.</li>

WP Updates Notifier

It's ok for theme and plugins notifications, but notification about core updates does't work for more than one year!
This plugin probably won't recieve an update anymore.

Out-of date and not fully working

Sends email to notify you if there are any updates for your WordPress site. Can notify about core, plugin and theme updates.

<p>Description: Hook into plugin and core upgrader to support SVN driven sites. Now you can freely use the WordPress auto upgrade features without worrying about the Subversion impact. Just upgrade in WordPress and then commit the changes in SVN.</p>
<p>Additionally, this plugin displays the current SVN version in the footer of your admin panel and uses the SVN version to append to your CSS and Javascript embeds so that every time you update from SVN, your media files are cleared form cache.</p>
<p>Requires that your system permissions allow shell_exec() to execute svn commands.</p>
<p>Donate – if this is generating enough revenue to support our time it makes all the difference in the world<br />

<h4>To Do</h4>
<ul>
<li>Account for SVN externals</li>
<li>Test to ensure the plugin is compatible with your server (that you can run exec svn commands)</li>
<li>Build an auto commit option? Not sure if this is a good idea.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Documentation</h3>
<p>It’s pretty straight forward. When you auto upgrade a plugin or the core, this plugin automatically svn adds and removes files appropriately. That way you can keep your entire WordPress install in SVN.</p>
