No. Style authors should take care of that themselves by using template inheritance. Files that are modified by style authors cannot be automatically updated.

I dont see why not. Most styles only have the css template and the style name changed.
They keep the html template intact. There should be at least a template auto updater to make it easier to update.

Thats not correct at all. Style authors can do very little to change the style, such as only a few CSS color tweaks...to outright overhauling with massive template, css, and javascript changes that would make any kid of auto-updating impossible.

The auto-updating in phpBB relies on finding code intact, as it is in a fresh install, and modifying that code. Anywhere it can't find core code (because it has been changed by MODs or styling) leads to conflicts, which have to be evaluated and resolved manually by the admin updating.

phpBB always releases a code-change instruction set for the styles (prosilver and subsilver2) which style authors and admins alike can use to figure out how to update their custom styles.

But the bottom line is phpBB ships with Prosilver and subsilver2. They are part of the core, and the updaters always auto-update the core package only. phpBB is only responsible for the core code that it ships with.
Has an irascible disposition.

And thats where template inherentence kicks in, so the non modified templates get automaticlly updated.

Its not needed. If you were testing RC versions, you should have RC2. If you weren't testing, you should have 3.0.11

We just don't advertise all packages in the announcements. There is an RC1 to RC3 update package in the release archive. See https://download.phpbb.com/pub/release/ ... .0.12-RC3/
