What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Create new ContainerBuilder.
2. Build the container.
3. Create another ContainerBuilder.
4. Register some autoactivated components.
5. Update the container with the second builder. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Autoactivated components should be activated after update, but nothing happens. What version of Autofac are you using? On what version of .NET/Silverlight? Autofac v3.1.1 on .NET 4.5 Please provide any additional information below. See the attached unit test.

This is sort of an interesting scenario that I'll have to think about how it should work. We want to make sure that Update doesn't re-activate things that are already in the container as AutoActivate/IStartable - it should just activate the newly added stuff. Let me look into it.

Update should now work on both AutoActivate and IStartable if you're updating a container. If you're directly updating a component registry (just a set of registrations decoupled from any context/lifetime) there's no way to do component resolution, so it will ONLY work when updating a container.

Incremented the Autofac core version to 3.1.2 for backwards-compatible bug fixes. This feature should be available on next release.
