Comment(by leif):
Well, at least the Sage banner shows the release date... ;-)
Perhaps something for our !NagBot writer?
From the ticket's title I first guessed you meant detecting "dead" Sage
3.x (Debian/Ubuntu) packages installed on the user's system, like this
one:
{{{
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| SAGE Version 3.0.5, Release Date: 2008-07-11 |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
}}}
A few times there have been "bug reports" and questions (not explicitly)
referring to ''that'' version... :)
Another issue is the "frozen" {{{#sage-devel}}} banner nobody has the
power to update:
{{{
Logs of this channel are posted online | Sage - free open-source
mathematics software |
Ask questions here and wait, or post to sage-support list |
www.sagemath.org |
stable: 4.3.1 | dev: 4.3.2.alpha1
}}}
I'm not sure if it is desirable to continually check for recent Sage
versions (e.g. at start-up); at least such a feature should be
disableable.
