A Check_For_Updates function would be nice to have, BUT it sounds like implementing it in a way that satisfies everyone would be tricky.
Ideally, the function would be configurable so that it could check for updates: - Each time CHIRP starts - Daily - Weekly - Only When The User Clicks a Button
Many programs have a setup option similar to this - I know both the video players that I use regularly give be options similar to this.
But the Check_For_Updates would also need to recognize that there are different kinds of updates.
I would think that if someone were running the Stable version, it should only check for updates of the Stable version.
If someone were running a Daily Build, perhaps it should notify them if there is a newer Daily Build (which would happen very often) AND if there is a Stable version newer than their Daily Build
