This morning I had a update message about WordPress3.8.1 on my Dashboard. I checked the ChangeLog out and found this was a minor maintenance release. So, I tried to wait the feature Background Updates which were introduced in WordPress 3.7.
I tested my multisite by Background Update Tester created by WordPress.org. Then I had the result below.

Automatic background updates require a number of conditions to be met.
PASS: Your WordPress install can communicate with WordPress.org securely.
PASS: No version control systems were detected.
PASS: Your installation of WordPress doesn’t require FTP credentials to perform updates.
PASS: All of your WordPress files are writable.
This site is able to apply these updates automatically. Cool!

I was waiting for Automatic Background Updates to finish. Finally, I had the email below.
