Right now, what is the planned method for distributing updates to the beta group?
Is it going to be some sort of all-purpose updater that checks and updates the program install?
or are We going to download a new version of the installer each time an update is released?
Just curious, a CVS style auto-updater would be very cool ie:
run the updater, it connects to your server and downloads the neccessary updates (minus the compile part since this is windows hehe)

Just a thought.

A built-in automatic updater, not unlike those you can see in Firefox or CounterStrike Source. Very easy, very convenient, no hassle. You'll see soon.

As for notifications, you won't need any. Like many online games, Filter Forge always requires you to have the latest client version to connect to the server. When you try to "Download More Filters..." from an outdated verson of Filter Forge, it will offer you to update.
