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."
His reason for visiting that page is it is set as his Home Page each
time SeaMonkey opens, and the latest version number is no longer
displayed on that page.
His home page shows, "Congratulations! You've downloaded (or compiled)
a stable version of SeaMonkey. ", when it probably should show
something like this, "Hey! Your copy of SeaMonkey is more than four
weeks old. Unless you are using the latest release or nightly build,
bug reports get rapidly less useful the older your copy is.", which I
see with the Nightly build I use.
SeaMonkey 2.17 was released on 02-04-2013, and SeaMonkey 2.17.1 was
released on 14-04-2013.
His UA String shows he is using, Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:20.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 SeaMonkey/2.17
My UA is, Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/20.0 SeaMonkey/2.17.1
The page should tell him his version is outdated.
He is saying it showed the latest version before, but now it doesn't,
and wants to know why.
I want to know why it isn't telling him it is outdated.
This is exactly what i asked .... Why this page did not tell me that i
have not the latest stable version.
What i had before is a very smooth indication of my version status.
I prefer that way of being informed that the constant repeatedly ALERT
that a new version is available (by using the " [x] Automatically check
for updates (o) daily (•) weekly " option)
I hate alerts !!!
In that case, use the home page I offered above.
Your home page did not give the same result.
What are you trying to do ? Convince me to not ask to have what i had
before ?
Your page just tell the new version.
My home page say:
You are up-to-date.
OR
You are not up-to-date, the latest version you should use is x.yy.z
This is NOT the same because most of the time, i see "You are
up-to-date" and i am informed immediately that i need to update.
Your page did not tell me that i should update. Because i did not put my
version in my brain/memory.
It looks, like, Yes, this is a bug, but we will not correct it !!!
Same as:
A well accepted bug like
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776096 IS NOT RESOLVED -
because the duplicated one
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674247 will stay forever
... until perhaps the year 2035
