The upcoming (2.2) release of metasploit also includes an updater that will
allow you to update your local copy of the framework to the latest release copy.
This means that any new exploits that are added over time will be made
available via the updater.  The web interface is also an option for
downloading new exploits as they become available, but it
will not allow for updating framework library components like the
updater will (I'm not aware of any plans to make this available at the
moment).

The updater tool is named 'msfupdate', and can be found in the root of the
framework directory in the upcoming release.
