[tor-talk] Technical Documentation for the TBB Update Notification Mechanism

[<proper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I know Tor Button fetches https://check.torproject.org/RecommendedTBBVersions but I couldn't find check.torproject.org within the Tor Button source code.

How Tor Button comes to its decision to display https://check.torproject.org/?lang=en-US&small=1&uptodate=0 ?

The script start-only-torbrowser https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/5611 which does not start Tor/Vidalia is breaking the Update Notification, while I doubt Tor/Vidalia plays a role for the update notification. Do you have an hypothesis why?

Can you explain please, how the TBB update notification mechanism is implemented?
