Lighthouse has a new layout. Prefer the old one? Return to the old layout, and switch back any time from the link at the top of each page.

Feature request: Add update version checking (online)

#314

Could easily be placed in expVersion:checkVersion() to pull a serialized version file from the exponentcms.org website to see if a new (stable) version is available. If so, set a flag locally (so we don't show it with each page load?) and display it in the message queue. Could also be run from Exponent menu.

    (from [7a56c4d222a176d82bf3b507d4786ca3915b5dbe]) Better handling of situations where no database connection is present...now sends you to the maintenance screen with a note that the database is offline. Also updates version checking in preparation for online version checking and the new install/upgrade process for the next release version. Adds new method to expDateTime to format and return a date based on system settings [#314 Feature request: Add update version checking (online) #421 Feature request - install/upgrade must be specifically envoked and upgrade re...] https://github.com/exponentcms/exponent-cms/commit/7a56c4d222a176d8...

    (from [12a81dda0896ddc865dbcc1dd732c214876954c3]) Revises install/upgrade process to no longer be semi-automated. Now installation MUST be called explicitly and if an 'upgrade' condition exists, but the site is still configured, the admin user will be notified with a link to upgrade the site after logging in. Also contains the basics for doing an online version check displaying a notice once per session. Still need a location (or new method) to store the version check.
