Is LibreOffice's automatic updater obsolete?

[Name_Hidden_for_Secu]

Hello,
     Every time The Document Foundation releases a new stable version of LibreOffice, I get a little update icon in the top-right corner of the LibreOffice window. It always says that the automatic update is not available, and to click "Download..." to manually download the installer. Is the automatic updater an obsolete feature that was left in the program, or is it never available when I check it?

Thanks,
