It's how the code we inherited works, and really how it's always worked. Just the new faster schedule makes it more problematic. I'm not sure anyone's going to argue about improving the UI around it.

There was a long and, at times, heated debate about this here just recently. Apparently TBTP like it the way it is. Personally I'm with you on this, but...

Re: NB doesn't want to update
Dear Neil, Thanks. I'd assumed that the 'check for updates' would look for new versions. It looks like I have to get the latest (12.1 I think) version by hand.

Actually, expected behaviour - there are no updates for 11.1 there. That's different to saying that 11.2+ don't exist! There should have been a notice about 11.2 at some point, but it shows only once I think. It's come up before that the current behaviour for notifying of patches is confusing in terms of notifying of new releases.
