I can't tell you how to update, but if you look at that question, you'll see that it will be released soon when 8.0.1 comes out. – root45 Nov 16 '11 at 2:35

Please explain what the command means. – N.N. Nov 16 '11 at 6:49
This kind of CLI snippets are posted many times here, and I won't try to explain as I think that if user does not understand what they mean, then he/she should not try to run them. If you feel like explaining, please do it yourself – zetah Nov 16 '11 at 7:15
It has been said that most visitors of AU come from a search engine and, thus, they are not familiar with other content here. SX has a tradition of encouraging answers to be more or less self-complete. – N.N. Nov 16 '11 at 17:00
