    I suggest that upon login in the manager , in the top right corner ( username | Messages | Help | Logout | 0.9.5 ) a little red / green button should be put in , that automatically pings the modxcms.com server and requests news about latest security updates ,and in case there are such critical updates , a pop-up to appear to the user and attention him that his website is not secure . (something similar to what firefox for windows has).
    Also , this coupled with a subscription service for security updates (I’m not referring to RSS , but to an automatic e-mail sender) would be great .

    Any opinions on this ? Doable / too much server resources wasted / etc ?

      Have you seen that you can automatically subscribe to security notices by email or by RSS already?

      RSS feed of security notices: http://feeds.feedburner.com/modxsecurity
      Email subscription of the same: http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=561592

      097 manager will likely contain some sort of RSS feed of the security notices as well.

        I knew about the RSS updates , but didn’t knew about the e-mail option until about 5 minutes ago when I actually read what was written on the downloads page sad .
        Guess you guys have thought about everything tongue , congrats !

              Changed the "feeds://feeds.feedburner..." to "http://feeds.feedburner..." in the module configuration and all is well.
