In reply to Julie @Niackery.

@ Julie - the animated gif is just showing how the new Shiny Updates feature works. It requires that you to actually click something (the update now link) in order for the plugin update to happen. All WP auto-updating stuff happens in the background and does not require any clicks by you. So those things are actually 2 totally different things. As far as I know automatic background stuff and Shiny Updates are 2 entirely different animals.
