You certainly heard about the latest CPanel 11, automated updates are not yet available on the stable branch and many was asking me how to upgrade their servers to this new release. Notice that to use Cpanel 11 you will have to switch to current branch, which is not recommended for hosting providers, but if you manage your own server you can use it at your own risk. Stable release is planned for June 13, 2007.
