You're free to use this system, but be sure to give at least minimal credit (such as mentioning that you've used this system and tell who it was made by)

This is a self‑update flow – it will automatically update to the latest version. For demonstration purposes, it will always try to update

This system was derived from the bigger 11‑block system (https://llamalab.com/automate/community/flows/37830), and eventually compacted into this, solving problems that arose while using other systems

This system fits into 8 blocks (not counting the start block as it's not related – it is related in the original, which is actually the same amount as the original (https://llamalab.com/automate/community/flows/21463)) and doesn't use the flow's URI to get what it needs. You just need to provide it with its own community flow ID (as a variable) and its version (as a variable and in the community description) and it will work just fine

The flow now uses a proper regex to locate the version definition anywhere in the description. The regex is:
(?iu)\bV(?:ers(?:ion)?)?(?:\s*:\s*)?\s*(\d+(?:\.\d+){0,3})
The first match found is used as the version, so think about the placement of the version definitions
(In-Description changelogs can also work as a "in plain sight" version definitions)

Additionally, this system can show how many versions you're behind the community upload (other systems can do this too with a slight modification of their notification contents)
