If I install SAB from source, does it automatically update itself?

I was reading the guide here: https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/installation/i ... ce-windows and noticed that there is an optional "update" section in the bottom part telling me that you have to manually update SAB. I'm not sure if that's what it means though.

Also, aside from being always up-to-date when running from source what other advantages does it have over installing with the Windows binaries?

Is this: https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/installation/y ... _py2.7.rar the latest version of yEnc for SAB? I can't seem to find a download of this in Google.

BUMP!

It doesn't auto update, only when you run a git pull.
But if you use the develop branch (which is the default if you use the guide) you will likely experience bugs from time to time.. You can switch to the master branch by
git checkout master
This branch will always have the latest stable, but then you could've just also used the installers.
Yes, that yEnc is the latest. We are the only backup host for that file, besides the original author. But this version is the only pre-compiled version that's ready to use in Windows. Otherwise you have to install even more packages just to build yEnc.

I see. So can you safely say that it would just be better to stay with the regular Windows installer for normal usage?

For sure!

Thanks!
