Check For Updates Dialog

Post by blueb »

Is it possible to update the Help Menu, 'Check For Updates' dialog?
Right now it just says: No new versions available.
But how can you tell,, for sure?

I think it might be better to say:

Latest Full Release Available Is: PureBasic 5.73 LTS
Latest Beta Release Is: PureBasic 6.00 Beta 7

This Computer Is Using: PureBasic 6.00 Beta 6 (x64)

Update to the latest version at:
https://www.purebasic.com/download.php
- It was too lonely at the top.

System : PB 6.10 LTS (x64) and Win Pro 11 (x64)
Hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X w/64 gigs Ram, AMD RX 6950 XT Graphics w/16gigs Mem

It does check for beta versions if you enable it in the Settings:

So then you get a message like this if you're on the latest release:

I hear you, but no. I prefer the dialog report back with actual numbers.
Coming back with: "No new release versions available" is kind of a lazy answer, so my request still stands.
We can do better. :mrgreen:
