Description

I assume it is due to security concerns but I still drop the question: Is it possible to implement a update function to trigger an rc version update from within the web interface ? If so, what about an auto-update ?

Investigate existing Roundcube update mechanisms and the installer. Review comments in issue #6352 for additional context. Consider implementing a plugin that triggers updates from the web interface, possibly using PHP's shell exec or similar, but be cautious about security implications.
