[Developer Release] Update Notice

[Fuzzgtp]

Here is an easy way to notify your users when you have an update for your app.
It parses the descriptor file in your app directory, checks your repository and then notifies the user if you have an updated version. If the user has already been notified, it won't bug them again.

Directions:
1. Drop UpdateNotice.py in the same directory your descriptor.xml is in.
2. Make sure your descriptor file is set up to standard. see - http://developer.boxee.tv/2009/04/14...rst-boxee-app/
3. The beginning of your app should look like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<window type="window" id="14000">
	<defaultcontrol always="true">100</defaultcontrol>
	<onload lang="python"><![CDATA[
	
Drop this in the onload section  of your main.xml

from UpdateNotice import *
CheckVersion()


]]></onload>

4. That's it. :)

I was just thinking about adding this feature to my apps last night, since I tend to update and add features quite often... (Justin.tv is on its 8th release, Adult Swim is on its 7th, Cartoon Network is on its 4th.)

Thanks for doing all the hard work for me!
