Great! It would now be able to update multiple plugins in one go. Keeping plugins uptodate was a little cumbersome earlier but using this new feature it’ll be easy.

Weill give this a shot when updates become available

If this works without the stress of the old plugin update system (inconsistent failures) it will be one of my favorite features in Wordpress.

Although upgrading to new version of wordpress is good for security and get features, it often provides bugs. So i think, it is better to upgrade to new versions after some time , say 1 week of upgraded version released.

I agree with you Pascal, as current release has few bugs like missed schedule and categories related bug.
