CasperUpdate

CasperUpdate is a system which allows creators to make self-updating products. Once a product is sold to the customer, the product will check for an update every time it is rezzed (or at specific intervals). If an update is found, the customer is asked if they wish to proceed with the update.

CasperUpdate is scheduled to be released in July, 2015 and is currently in public BETA.

Despite being tightly integrated with CasperVend, CasperUpdate is a standalone product and does not require CasperVend to function.
