I thought there was one too, I didn't even see this topic because it was buried under 20 other sk89q topics ;)

Ook well then it would be a simple extra line of code would it not to add the 'Update now" button?

Perhaps what you're requesting is an auto-updater?  It's been a while since I've looked at it, but I think the new version notification links you to the web page where you can download the files.  The problem with an auto-updater is providing the bandwidth.  Also, if somebody found an exploit, it could potentially auto-update to a worm/virus or something crazy like that.

When does the new version notification actually work? I haven't seen it (recently, at least).

When you update the server list, I think.
