Feature request: Add update version checking (online)
Reported by dleffler | August 24th, 2011 @ 04:37 PM | in 2.0.4 (closed)
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 #421] 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.
