Hey, no problem. That's been one of my many little pet projects over the last couple of weeks. I did fix some bugs with it for 2.5.5, so that's probably why it's fixed.

On the update issue, we definitely don't turn on the update for any betas. In fact, we often leave the update off even for official releases. This is because we release so often, that we only update people to really stable releases and to releases with really nice new features. Otherwise, the update messages would just get annoying.

This is going live momentarily. Thanks to everyone for the feedback!
