I'll bet having an automatic updater would be a huge pain in the ass to implement, but if GZDoom had a way to check if there's updates and tell the user if it finds that there are any that would be helpful in preventing people from asking why newer mods won't work. (As well as helpful for people like me who don't check nearly as often as to if an update has happened) Think how SLADE3 does it, basically lets you know there's an update and links you to the download page to download the newest version.
