I agree to BobingAbout, for another reason, too:
It's a bad idea to throw out "a new version" everyday, that's exactly what I wanted to avoid with the version system.
Sure, on the other hand, people wouldn't have to wait too long for serious bugs being fixed. I must admit that I've been a slow ass concerning that...
Still, a "daily" (or similar quick) update would not be a great idea unless you create an auto-update service (I'd declare that the "ideal solution").
Maybe you could bring out stable versions after determined periods of time (like a month, 2 weeks), that way people won't be flooded with stuff and besides there'd be regular update intervals people can easily remember.
The condition is, though, that you - unlike me - work constantly on the patch (which you're apparently doing).
In the meantime, i.e. between the updates, you do what Bobing says and e.g. run a locked beta testing forum where - like Bobing says - modding professionals test the patch.
