I've experimentally committed a "Welcome to Rosegarden" message, to appear the first time you run a particular version of Rosegarden, and a "newer version is available" message.
The "newer version" test just makes an HTTP request for http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/latest-version.txt and compares that against the current version. For test purposes, I've put "1.7.0" into that file, so it should compare greater than the trunk SVN version and you should always see the dialog (until you click "Don't show me this again"). The "welcome" text, and indeed dialog, are pretty rubbish. If you can come up with any improvement to this or the newer version feature, please commit. I'm going to be away for a few days, but I'll check commit logs when I get back, and I'm not particularly attached to my way of doing things here. Philosophical observations about the merits of this internet-based check for a newer version are also welcome!
