Description
Since NVDA code updates rather rapidly and as I understand it these snapshots are like daily builds of firefox, NVDA should have an automatic update feature like firefox that installs new snapshots as they become available. The way I see this working out is like this.
1. NVDA starts and checks the snapshots page to see if an update is available.
2. If an update is available, it asks the user if they would like to download it. Alternatively it could just go ahead and fetch the update.
3. It installs the update and restarts. I'm not sure if this would be dificult to implament as I'm not a programmer smiles, so someone with more experience could comment.
