Wilma can check regularly to see if there is a new version or any news
about Wilma and this menu item will open a dialog where you can set how
often this check is made.
The check is done by sending a simple request to the RedTree web server
using normal Web protocols. The only information that is sent it the
version of Wilma you are using and the last news item you asked to view.
As when you visit any web page on the net, the server also gets your
current IP address. None of this can be used to identify you and all that
is returned is the links to new updates or news.
If there is none, then this all happens in the background and is
invisible. Similarly if you don't happen to be connected to the net,
the attempt to connect will quietly quit.
While Wilma is still under active development I would recommend checking
every run or every day.
