Re: [tdf-discuss] Automatic Update / Update info

So, we're talking about some discussions that took place during the
OpenOffice time, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away :-)
I don't remember why we had chosen not to implement it for betas/RC ,
there was supposedly a good reason for that but I completely forgot
about it. Let me ask anyway. 

@Mike: apps that notifies users when another software can be updated
exist a lot on the mac but here Jaime was mentioning one specific
feature of LibreOffice that notifies the user directly and, possibly,
updates LibO by itself.

best,
Charles.
