Automated Drupal updates and deployments

A Drush command to update a website instance by executing available "updaters".

An updater is a PHP function which is executed during execution of the Drush update-website command.

The Drush command keeps track of updaters already executed, so they are not executed twice on the same Drupal instance.

Updaters have access to usual Drupal APIs and other Drush commands.

This is useful when you want to test and automate your updates and deployments, e.g. after developing a new feature, since updaters are simple PHP scripts that can be included in your feature branches.
