• Warden support
• Remote host via ssh support (*)
• Detect if package update affects current desktop environment base packages. If so display banner to inform user thet he need to perform log off. (*)
• Changing PC-BSD system branch (*)
• Viewing base system update digest with system update history(*)

(*) - will be added aftter release

Current status (21.11.2013)

1. System update - PC-BSD updates check only implemented (system updates installation is not implemented)
2. Packages update - "check" and "update" prototype is implemented
3. PBI update - "check" and "update" prototype is implemented

Prototype implementation means working implementation without error handling and with some amount of ugly code.

So currently I have made all except system updates installation process and Warden support

Seems like GitHub Wiki can't host images (only urls), so please see screenshots on my Assembla page
