[IDEA] Automatic check for updates

[Tim Curtis]

The check for availability of an update is simply an http get request to the .txt file that contains the info describing the update. This is what shows up when VIEW is clicked. Both the .txt info file and the .zip file that contains the update script are in the same directory referenced by the AWS distribution link.

Switching to GitHub might be an option for doing an update notice since the txt and zip files are in the "updates" repo. I'll test it out.
