My version is running fine. I see that current versions are still buggy.

The last time i converted from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 had my site down an entire night, so i am not wishing go through that again this soon.

 

I suppose IPS wants you to always upgrade. I sense that if you do not renew the licence you will have renew it just to avoid scrolling down a hundred times.

On the one hand upgrading solves it, however you do have a point...it should be collapsible or something and reappear every so often.

I agree this needs to be addressed.  Upgrading to make it go away isn't an option, now there are future release notes listed too.

It does go away when you update to 4.0.8, though.

I like it.

But that's probably because I religiously always update to the latest version.

If I had a good reason not to update, I can see that it would be annoying.

Even if we made it dismissible you'd have to upgrade to get that ;) 

But yes, it shouldn't show future versions. They should be gone now.
