Theypsilon publishes automated UpdateAll_2026-02-15 and 2026-02-16 GitHub releases adding helper scripts

theypsilon, the maintainer of the widely used Update_All_MiSTer updater script, published automated release artifacts named UpdateAll_2026-02-15 and UpdateAll_2026-02-16 to the project's GitHub releases, adding helper scripts that MiSTer FPGA users can download and run to streamline updater tasks. The two artifacts appeared as part of an automated sequence and were followed by later bot updates, indicating a shift to more programmatic release management.

The Update_All_MiSTer script has been a central tool across the MiSTer FPGA community for keeping cores and repository content current, and theypsilon's decision to push automated artifacts on February 16, 2026 explicitly ties helper scripts to that familiar updater workflow. Users who rely on Update_All_MiSTer for maintenance now have packaged helper scripts attached to releases UpdateAll_2026-02-15 and UpdateAll_2026-02-16, rather than needing to pull separate manual instructions from forum threads.

The two release artifacts were generated as automated builds and published to the project's GitHub releases page, with the release names matching the artifact timestamps. The initial UpdateAll_2026-02-15 artifact arrived first, followed by UpdateAll_2026-02-16 and then subsequent bot-driven updates. That sequence suggests theypsilon configured continuous automation to produce dated release artifacts that contain helper scripts alongside the existing updater code base.

To apply the change, download the UpdateAll_2026-02-15 or UpdateAll_2026-02-16 artifact from the project's releases and run the included helper scripts in the same environment where you run Update_All_MiSTer. The artifacts are intended to reduce manual steps in updating and maintenance workflows for MiSTer FPGA setups; running the helpers should integrate with current Update_All_MiSTer usage rather than replace it.

This move toward automated release artifacts with helper scripts changes how maintenance is distributed in the MiSTer community by putting executable helpers directly into tagged releases. theypsilon's automation and the bot updates that followed on and after February 16, 2026 are likely to affect the cadence of future releases and how contributors package updates for end users.

As of February 22, 2026 the new pattern of automated, dated artifacts is in place on the project's GitHub releases; for users of Update_All_MiSTer, that means release pages now carry ready-to-run helper scripts with names UpdateAll_2026-02-15 and UpdateAll_2026-02-16, and checking those artifacts should be part of routine MiSTer maintenance going forward.
