Due the fact that allot "stable" versions pop up, its allot work to manually upgrade each time maybe it would be an idea to add an auto updater or update files ? :-)

That would be good to have but also a lot of work, usually you can just overwrite the existing files (with plug-ins you shouldn't need to modify core files). I wonder if I can just get a DIFF file from SVN and use a DIFF library to apply changes. Plug-ins already have an update function for database tables, perhaps I should start using it. :)

Well mainly css & _view/ files are always modified in every website, we make with the framework :)
also index.php & _config.php is always changed, but I agree that I'm 2 lazy to check up svn changes. :D

You can safely skip most files, just overwrite the core files. Except for global.css, header.tpl.php and footer.tpl.php you shouldn't need to modify any view files. I'm not saying an updater wouldn't be a good idea though, I'll try to figure out the best way to do this. Any ideas?

Most users of framework prolly be developers so distributing a DIFF file prolly will be the fastest way to make version updating manually. Its just so hard to upgrade from google svn changes, as they include numbers.
