[wp-hackers] Plugin register_activation_hook()

[Ade Walker]

No, it doesn't run during upgrade. Just found the answer, doh!

So, what is best practice for a plugin handling, say, a WP version check
when upgrading? Can I rely on the plugin upgrade error checking to catch a
PHP fatal error, and subsequently deactivate the plugin?

Thanks for any suggestions.
