So it is probably done on purpose to 'test' out this new version with toolbar before everybody gets auto-updated. So, most likely the auto-update file will be updated soonish. Patchou has always taken this approach in the past too, to spread the load on the server.
The auto-update file *is* updated though and pushing out .376, but another .376 than on the download page. Which is something different than usual where auto-update wouldn't notify anybody until one or two weeks after release, at which point auto-update would serve the same file as the download page.
I guess it comes down to the same thing if they change auto-update in 1 or 2 weeks to serve the toolbar version too. But atm it's still pretty confusing, certainly for people who don't realize auto-update, /checkupdates, and the download page are 3 separate things.
Not having a changelog doesn't help either. IMO every time you bug users with an auto-update notification and/or change the build number on the download page people should be able to see what changed. No matter if it's only the sponsoring or tiny changes.
/me considers keeping an archive of releases again (including the silent ones)
