Way too many dependencies for what would be a simple URL request as is already
used for the LOTW user file.
All the team needs to do is put a simple file containing a version# and an
optional message on the WSJT-X site.
The version number is just a an integer representation like 200 for the current
version.WSJT-X grabs the file, reads it, and looks at the version # compared to
the saved one in the WSJT-X.ini file to see if it increased.
Could also add message# item to have one-time messages appear using a one-up
counter or a sequence of such messages

Did anybody read my suggestion? Never got any feedback from it - I thought it

Hello,
Using the new version 2 and very impressed with it - thanks!
This is just to offer a suggestion for the future. I see people complaining
about the pop-up boxes letting them know about important concerns. Also I think
it's hard-coded into the program and won't go away until a new version is
released. You may want to consider adding a simple one-way intra-program
messaging system (perhaps wrong terminology) such as the one that the BOINC
client uses -
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/
It lets the developers send one-way messages to all the clients anytime they
want, and offers the user a little note -
Notice (1)
at the top of the window letting them know that a message is available to read.
Messages such as "We have a new version available it's time to upgrade!" :-)
Just a thought thanks for the work you do!
