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The page should tell him his version is outdated.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I want to know why it isn't telling him it is outdated.
