Summary0018408: Users running MM continously don't receive update notiifcations
DescriptionCurrently update notifications are sent at most every 7 days, but only on startup, so users running MM on an ongoing basis don't receive update notifications.

It would be preferable if MM checked for notifications every 7 days, and
- displayed the notification for a given build 2x (i.e. at 7 days and at 14 days). e.g. show the build for 5.0.3 2x (at 7 days and then at 14 days but don't show it again. But if 5.0.4 is detected, show it, then again at 7 days and 14 days)
- if notification for a given build has been shown 2 times already, then display the notification on restart of MM but not subsequently

Assigining to Jiri for feedback.
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build2515

Repeated version check every 7 days makes sense.

As for the repeated notifications shown, I'd propose to change the current button set to
[Download] [Later] [Dismiss]

So that user can dismiss the version right away. Note that if we want to press user a bit more to upgrade, we could hide the Dismiss button for the first (or several) time given version is shown, per Rusty's original proposal.

Sounds good. To clarify for testing, this means that:
- Version check occurs every 7 days even if the user presses [Dismiss]
- If a user has presses [Dismiss] then the notification for version x.y.z will not be shown again, but the notification for x.y.z+1 (or x+1 or y+1) will be shown
- MM continues to adhere to the General:Check for update settings (i.e. no checks if disabled)

Fixed in build 2515. Used [Close] [Dismiss] [Download] buttons, to reduce new strings.

I changed dates and used my own custom XML based on one from ~0065725, looks like it works, but lest close it after 5.0.2 gets out and more feedback we get.
