Title

Update notification

One line summary

Add a check for update entry menu in EiffelStudio for getting newer versions.

Description

Create a notification service that will let users know when there is a new version of EiffelStudio available for download. It has to work on Unix, Windows and Mac OS. It should be done in such a way that when we release a new version, there is almost nothing to be done on the server side to let users know there is an update.

Skills needed

Basic knowledge of network protocols. It is a plus if you know how installation programs work, especially Windows MSIs and Linux packages.

Difficulty

Medium

Licensing

GPLv2

Documentation

Mostly on the http://dev.eiffel.com since it is internal.

Submitter

Eiffel Software

Possible mentor
