Automatically check for Blender Updates with this free add-on

Are you tired of keeping an eye out for new Blender versions, and especially patches? John Einselen published an add-on to automatically check for updates every time you launch Blender.

I really wanted an easy way to tell when the next #Blender3D version was released. Instead of daily checking Blender.org, which doesn’t take very much time at all (but adds up), I spent many hours creating an add-on to do it for me (because that’s WAY more fun).

And since the collective us can save way more time than I spent making this, thereby justifying this effort beyond “I’m learning #Python,” I hope all you Blender users here like it.
