Update script included with runner distributions

Runner The XP runners (xp, xpcli, cgen, xcc, etc., platform-specific commands that wrap the XP bootstrapping process around the underlying PHP runtime) are distributed along with every release of the framework. Any updates to these runners will be installed with the next framework release you install.

If you're using an SVN checkout of the XP Framework, you needed to separately upgrade the runners to start using new features as documented here for example, a command easily forgotten so every time I needed it I would use this blog to rediscover it

So...
If you're using an SVN checkout too, and have had the same problem: This has now been addressed and the XP runner distributions now bundle an update-script.

It's usage is simple:

  # Un*x environment
  $ cd /path/to/xp/runners
  $ sh xprt-update.sh
  
  # Windows
  C:\> cd \path\to\xp\runners
  C:\path\to\xp\runners> xprt-update.bat
  
  # Cygwin
  $ cd /path/to/xp/runners
  $ cmd /c xprt-update.bat

Getting it
To get the update-script, you will need to use the XP runner setup just one more time the "old" way:

  $ cd /path/to/where/runners/should/go
  $ wget http://xp-framework.net/downloads/releases/bin/setup -O - | php

Note: This is still the correct way for first-time installations, however!
