      Description

      I appreciate the popup that a new version is available. However, all it offers is a link to download it. For usability reasons and general sanity ("do I want to upgrade?" "how intensive is an upgrade?" "how do I upgrade once I download this file?") this message should also link to:

      a) the release notes for the new version, which took me quite a bit of poking around to find

      b) the standard instructions for upgrading, unless there's something special about this upgrade

      Just my two cents.
