Goal

Show the user a non-intrusive notification when an update is available, with options to download, skip, or dismiss.

Implementation

  • Status bar widget that appears when an update is available:
    • Shows "Update available: v0.2.0" as a clickable label
    • Clicking opens the update dialog
  • Update dialog (QDialog):
    • Shows current version, available version, release notes
    • Buttons: "Download & Install", "Remind Me Later", "Skip This Version"
    • "Skip This Version" stores version in SkippedVersion pref
    • "Download & Install" triggers the download flow (#31)
  • Add Help > Check for Updates... menu item for manual checks
  • All UI code in src/Mod/Create/update_checker.py

Depends on

  • #29 (update checker)

Files

  • src/Mod/Create/update_checker.py (extend)
  • src/Mod/Create/InitGui.py (modify — add menu item)
