Updating

GST Manager provides integrated in-place updates directly through the AcelleMail admin interface:

In-place workflow: Check release status, download, and apply updates without manual SSH file transfers.
Pre-update safety: Automatically captures a database snapshot before applying changes.
Automatic rollback: Reverts to the previous working version if any update step encounters an error.

The Integrity & Updates tab showing the installed version and update controls GST Manager → Plugin Settings → Integrity & Updates

Checking for updates

Navigate to GST Manager → Plugin Settings → Integrity & Updates:

Review your Installed version at the top of the panel.
Click Check for updates to query the Relyweb release registry.
Review the reported response:
- Update available: Displays Version :v available, Released :date, and a View changelog link.
- Up to date: Confirms your current build matches the latest release.
- Unreachable server: Displays "Could not reach the update server (...). Your plugin continues to work normally." (no immediate action required; plugin remains fully operational).

On-demand check

Checking for updates performs a read-only query. Files and database records remain unchanged until you explicitly initiate an update.

When a new version is available, complete the update workflow:

Click Update now.
Confirm the prompt: "Download and install v:v now? A backup of the current version is taken first."
The automated updater executes the following stages sequentially:
- License check: Re-validates active license status.
- Download & verify: Retrieves release archive and validates HMAC checksums.
- Database backup: Captures a snapshot of plugin tables (gstmgr_*).
- Extraction & cutover: Deploys new files and updates database schemas.
On successful completion, the banner displays "Updated to v:v successfully."

Alternative manual upload

To update manually, download the latest release archive from your Relyweb client portal and upload via Admin → Plugins → Upload Plugin.

Access to new releases depends on your active license plan:

License Type	Update Entitlement	Plan Expiration Behavior
Leased	All updates included during active term.	Plugin continues working on installed version.
Lifetime	Updates included with active Support & Updates.	Installed version works permanently; renew to access newer builds.

If an update cannot complete, review the error message:

Plan expired: "Your Support & Updates plan has expired or is not active. Renew it to install updates. Your current version continues to work normally." Renew coverage via your client portal.
Artifact pending: "vX is published but its download is not yet available — please contact support." Contact support@relyweb.co.
Registry unreachable: Outbound network connection timeout. Retry later.
Verification/Extraction error: Displays "Update failed: :reason". System rolls back automatically. Re-try or perform manual plugin upload.
