[Koha-devel] RSS method for checking and warning about current installed version

[Tomas Cohen Arazi]

My main concern is people having Koha instances that already reached EOL
and/or are not supported anymore. How to do it is the topic in discussion.
I like the idea of a button (maybe in the form of a tab in the about page
;-) and maybe with a disclamer notice and a confirmation button). Having a
syspref defaulting to "disabled" could work if this is troublesome in
several jurisdictions.

Regards
