> Something should at least popup saying a new version is available.

You get the notification when the new version is recommended for
people that run the version you are running.

Right now, people running 3.5 or older or 3.6.6 or older get a notification
for update to 3.6.7.

The people running 4.0.3 or older get notification for 4.0.4.

We are currently discussing when exactly to notify people running
3.6 (or older) to upgrade to 4.x; will probably happen in the next
few weeks.

I'd be afraid that not all people notified for a beta version
would understand the beta status. However, maybe we could put
an option (defaulting to OFF) like "always update to latest
and greatest" and/or a notion like Mozilla's "release channels".

Hmm... yes, this would make a lot of sense; we could have the
following update policies:

 - recommended (the current one)
 - latest release
 - latest rc
 - latest beta

Years? 4.1 is out since merely a few weeks. I must misunderstand
you. Care to explain?
