Auto login moved onto the character. It was one switch in Settings shared by every client in the window. It is now on the account's card in the Characters tab:

• Log back in automatically — yes, no, or leave it on the default.
• Wait first (seconds) — blank follows the default.

The wait is jittered a second either way, so several clients never come back on the same tick. Nothing to do on upgrade — every character carries on as it was.

Clients update themselves between scheduled runs. When one run finishes and before the next starts, the launcher checks whether the server has shipped a newer client. If it has, it downloads it, closes the old one, opens the new one on the same account without asking, and the schedule carries on.

It will not swap onto a build we have no hooks for yet — it waits and tries again — and it only closes the old client once the new one is downloaded and checked, so a failed download leaves you on the client you already have.

Closing a client now logs its character out, including when you close the launcher. Characters were being left standing in the world.
