This kind of feature would be a plugin itself – or could also be part of the RoundCube core. The way it would work in a nutshell is this: * check local .lock file from composer (= composer.lock) against installed versions * compare against our packagist repository I'm not a 100% sure if someone has done this before, but it's all there — or takes little effort to be build. It's already possible to run something like that `./composer.phar update --dry-run`, so I don't see why this couldn't be exposed to the web: http://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#options-3 Till _______________________________________________ Roundcube Development discussion mailing list dev@lists.roundcube.net http://lists.roundcube.net/mailman/listinfo/dev
