Update to how updates work: overnight auto-updates are now a Legend perk
Posted by tomspark
SparkBox 1.6.526 changes one thing about updating, and I want to be upfront about it. Until now, every box installed updates by itself overnight. From this version, that hands-off overnight installing is part of the Legend tier. What does NOT change for free boxes: your SparkBox still checks for updates every night, still shows you the update badge the moment something new ships, and installing is still one click from the Updates tab — with a backup taken first and automatic rollback if anything misbehaves. Nothing about your apps, your data, or the price of SparkBox itself changes. It is still free. What changes: the part where updates install themselves while you sleep. If you want your box to stay current without ever thinking about it — apps overnight in a window you pick, SparkBox itself an hour later — that now comes with Legend, along with Tom AI on your dashboard and priority support. Why: Legend supporters are what keep SparkBox a full-time job, and hands-off convenience is the honest place to draw the line — everyone keeps full updates, supporters keep the autopilot. Questions or grumbles, post them here — I read everything.
