Check for update bug

[PB4FUN]

In 1.16 using the menuentry check for new version gave me a message I was running the newest version.
But... now version 1.17 is available it does nothing anymore, it seems to have no function anymore.
Now it is a bug in 1.16 but it might be in 1.17 as well but I cannot test it when there is no newer version

I don't recall us ever having this in the software are you sure you are not thinking of another program like FLDigi?

Log4OM - MenuItem Help - Subitem : Check for new releases.

So you do not refer to a pop up when the check for updates option is checked in the settings menu?

it seems working there.
Can you confirm flag "check for new releases" is enabled in settings, and you restarted without having any notice about?

Well it works for me?

I do not know if I had it checked on my 1.16, but I seemed to have it enabled on my other PC running 1.17
On (1.17.0) startup I saw the message about the new version.
When I check for a new version using menu-help-check for new version I get the same msgbox
But when I uncheck the "check for new version" I get no msgbox on startup (this is correct), but when I check via the menu I get nothing (no msgbox)
Checking for a new version via the menu should be independent from the settings.

The bug is still there.

If you have the latest version you do get that message.
The problem is if you do NOT have the latest version there happens .... NOTHING.

I use the option in the menu to check (Menu - Help - Check for new releases)

I tried it before upgrading to 1.18.0

checkForNewReleasesToolStripMenuItem_Click uses this.CheckForUpgrades(true)
This would mean that it should not matter what setting you use to check or not check for new releases it should always pass the boolean true
So instead of only checking Storage.TheProgramConfig.CheckForNewReleases with a new version available it should be
if ((bool)e.Argument || checking Storage.TheProgramConfig.CheckForNewReleases )
