    Description

      The W3C Widget Updates spec provides a way for widgets to identify their update locations; this would enable, for example, the Wookie admin to either enable widgets to auto-update, or to show the admin that updates are available.

      Spec information at: http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets-updates/

      Currently this is still a working draft; hence I've tentatively put this against v0.8.3.

          Verified. Created a widge tpackage with the version number in config.xml set to 1.0 and another with the version set to 2.0. Added the <update-description> element to the widgets config.xml to point to another xml document (update description document). This pointed to the version 2.0 widget package. After importing my test widget, wookie fired the update event and installed the version 2.0 widget.

          (To test this,I updated the code locally on my machine so the update routine would fire more often, rather than wait an hour.)

          Implemented using a scheduled automatic updater, configured in widgetserver.properties
