I am unable to use the automatic updater to update from 0.17.56. Here is a pastebin of my factorio-current.log: https://pastebin.com/qu9UPVfC. I can see a Status Code 404 at the end. Is this a bug?

Happens regularly just after release. (Server/CDN swamped with requests?). Try again a bit later...

Thanks for the LuaGuiElement additions! It is much appreciated.

I have only had this issue in the past 2 or 3 weeks, and even many hours after release it still fails, so it doesn't seem to happen regularly. Before then, never had any problems, and I've often updated very quickly after release. Some part of the process or file provider must've changed recently.

Can't find it on https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/Recipe , what's it called?

It could have a different name in data stage .
(Also thanks. Also what i really meant was "it'd be nice if the changelog contained this kind of info directly. Also thanks to everyone of wube ofc for adding it in the first place.)

I based my comment on these :
search.php?keywords=CDN&fid%5B0%5D=3
(And some IRC discussions where it seems to happen mostly just after patch release. And I think that I got once, not a 404, but, like a 40 times slower download than usual...)

That's nice! But would it also be possible to have it in the changelog? Its easier to find it there with a full-text search, or for people who read the changelog in-game.
