Hang on! WP Automatic upgrading is ALMOST here!

Hey yall.  I thought you’d want to know that the very next version (excluding any minor security patch releases) of WordPress is going to include an automatic upgrader, so that you never have to worry about manually upgrading your blog via FTP again.

I’m running trunk (this basically means I’m running the next version of WordPress as it stands today, while it’s still being coded by the developers) on my development blog right now, and the feature is already there.

So, all you have to do is get yourself updated to 2.7 when it comes out (probably 3 or 4 months away) and then your golden.

2.7 is going to be seriously slick.  It also is going to have automatic installation of plugins and free themes (why use a theme besides ProPhoto?), plus way better comment managment, a redesigned (again) admin interface, and a whole bunch more.
