You can use this page:
<http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/>
Or you can set this pref:
Edit | Preferences | Software Installation
...
SeaMonkey
[x] Automatically check for updates (o) daily (•) weekly
[ ] Automatically download and install the update
...
These settings will notify you when an update is available but
won't download or install it until you give the go-ahead. If you do
want updates installed automatically, the option is there.
I never go ahead, i prefer de-installing my SM version, then install
the new one.
That's fine, you can leave the second box disabled and still be
notified. Your request was for notification, wasn't it?
No, Ray's initial statement was:-
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/start/ is my SM home page - where i can
read the latest released version number of SM.
So, it seems to me, Ray is wondering why the function of that particular
page has changed!!
I chose to look past Ray's superficial curiosity and seek his underlying
purpose, his reason for visiting that page. And he stated that clearly:
"So my home page did not tell me anymore that I should upgrade."
If he wants to know whether to upgrade, he can visit the page I
initially linked, <http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/>, and draw
his own conclusion by comparing the latest version number there to his
own version number. Or he can simply have the program check for him at
regular intervals and alert him when it detects a discrepancy.
I personally find the latter option both easier and more reliable,
humans being busy, forgetful creatures. YMMV.
