Is the latest patch (1.09) going to be implemented as an automatic game update?

I was using an old version of WinZip to extract the files. It looked like it worked properly but I had the CTD after the "Plane in the Gunsight" screen. I finally used this guide which recommended 7-Zip, and the release candidate and hotfix both installed flawlessly. CLoD now works much as I expected it to when I first bought it! I highly recommend these mods.
