Hi,
URE does not change any built-in role during update. The only thing – it check if administrator role has URE’s own capabilities, so admin has access to it.
Can you reproduce this issue? What will be if you deactivate all other plugins before update? Some time another plugin could be a reason of a problem…

They way I do update my all blogs is via IWP dashboard.
The ideea is that in WP, by default, contributors are not allowed to upload images. So this is the exact reason I installed URE. I allowed the Contributor via URE capabilities to be able to upload his images and all works fine. Until I update the plugin. Any time.
So it is a settings keeping issue, as long as other plugins (which of course have their own settings) are keeping their settings fine after any update.
This data is not URE’s settings really. WordPress stores user roles at the database. When you change a role (including contributor one) URE saves your changes in place to the same database record. So these changes should be permanent.
I can not repeat this. I may just suppose that something specific to your environment takes place.
Did you updated URE only? Re-check ‘contributor’ role after any other plugin update.

ok, I see.
Now it is working. Updates may appear usually in a few days (I have 12 active plugins -> http://imgur.com/a/mGCWO ). I never encountered this problem after those updates. As I remember sometimes there were multiple updates including URE, but for sure, at least once, URE was the only one updated.
I will be careful on next updates, to check the Contributor -> file_upload setting if it is kept, and let you know 🙂
