With Settings > System > Install updates on By itself (issue #52), a
release found by the daily check is offered once no key was pressed for
2 minutes and nothing would be cut by a restart. The question goes over
whatever App is open, with Cancel and Accept, and installs after 30 s
without an answer. Each update that held, and each one undone, is a
dated line in /system/updates.log on the card.

Tried on the device: the question, Cancel, and an install of v0.23.0
left unanswered.

## Check for updates
**Settings → System → Check for updates** is on by default. Once a day, with Wi-Fi up and the clock set, the device looks at the latest release and says `v0.11.0 is out: see Settings > System > Firmware`, once per version. It installs **nothing** by itself, and it does not announce a version that already failed and rolled back on this device.
**Settings → System → Check for updates** is on by default. Once a day, with Wi-Fi up and the clock set, the device looks at the latest release and says `v0.11.0 is out: see Settings > System > Firmware`, once per version. It installs **nothing** by itself unless you ask for that (below), and it does not announce a version that already failed and rolled back on this device.
## Install updates by itself
**Settings → System → Install updates** is `When asked` by default. Set to `By itself`, a newer release found by the daily check is installed without your going to the Firmware page:
1. The device waits for a **quiet moment**: no key pressed for 2 minutes, and nothing a restart would cut short (a Track or a Capture recording, files being copied or received, an SSH session, a web share).
2. It then asks on the screen, over whatever is open, and lights the screen if it was off: `Update to v0.24.0?`, with a count from **30 seconds**.
3. **Cancel** (or <kbd>`</kbd>) leaves things as they are until the next day's check. **Accept**, or no answer when the count ends, downloads the release, installs it and restarts.
Everything else is as for an install you ask for: the signature is checked before anything is written, the new firmware runs on Probation, and a version that rolled back on this device is not offered again. It needs **Check for updates** to be on.
Each update that held, whoever started it, and each one that was undone, is written with its date in `/system/updates.log` on the SD card.
