      Under Jenkins > Manage Jenkins there once was an update button to update to the latest snapshot build. Since several snapshot builds (not sure when exactly the button disappeared) there's no longer the option for that. E.g. 1.553 and 1.552 both did not show any update option despite 1.554 being available.

      Would be great to have this back to ensure an easy update option for not so tech savvy users.

          This hasn't been removed. Run the following script in Manage Jenkins » Script Console and post the result:

          println Jenkins.instance.updateCenter.coreSource.id;
println new Date(Jenkins.instance.updateCenter.coreSource.dataTimestamp);
println Jenkins.instance.updateCenter.coreSource.url;
println Jenkins.instance.updateCenter.coreSource.data.hasCoreUpdates();
println Jenkins.instance.getExtensionList(AdministrativeMonitor.class).find { it.id == 'hudson.model.UpdateCenter$CoreUpdateMonitor' }.enabled;

          Hi Daniel, this is the output for the command you posted:

          default
          Thu Mar 20 17:01:08 CET 2014
          http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/update-center.json
          false
          true

          We're on 1.555 and no button for 1.556 to be found.

          As you can see from the output, the update center data is almost a week old. Go to Manage Plugins » Advanced. Click Check Now (lower right). Wait on the "Checking Updates..." page until it says "Done". Then re-run the script.

          Ok this is def on our side of things. the button for 1.557 just showed up. Although the manual update check still never finishes. but that is not a jenkins issue then but rather related to our network settings I guess.

          consider this fixed.
