On the other hand, implementing it wouldn't be too hard to do. Not everyone updates their systems every day/week, so just knowing there is a more recent version if, for no other reason than to notify their distribution or look there, isn't a BAD thing.
I'll note that there are other systems, even with packaging, that notify of updates. This is especially true of cross-platform systems. E.g., Chrome, Firefox.. Even the Unifi Controller software notifies of updates. Granted, I don't consider this a high priority, but a small, click-away popup or corner-notification on app startup seems like a reasonable feature to me. -derek On Tue, April 28, 2020 9:46 am, Geert Janssens wrote: > On platforms with an app store or package manager this doesn't make sense. > It's the > responsibility of those to inform the user of application updates.
