Andres, so we have 2 features to implement: 1. checking for new version 2. gathering stats
About the first. Do you want to write something named './w3af_check_new_version' script and w3af user will run this script when he will need to know about new version? About the second. If so, we can add some warnings to this script and question "Submit OS info when checking for updates Y/N [Y]". Also we can provide some script param like "--no-ckeck" > List, > > I'm thinking about adding a new feature to detect if the version > running in the users box, is actually the latest version.
