Ok, I simplified this a bit more and implemented #3337 in origin/master of
Torbutton.
Torbutton fetches the url
https://check.torproject.org/RecommendedTBBVersions at TBB startup. It
expects that file to be a JSON list of TBB versions. See
http://fscked.org/transient/torbutton/versions for an example. That file
does not have to be served by the web service, it can just exist on disk
and get updated via cron or something.
If the TBB version is in that list, torbutton will fetch:
https://check.torproject.org/?lang=LANG&small=1&uptodate=1
If the TBB version is not in that list, torbutton will fetch:
https://check.torproject.org/?lang=LANG&small=1&uptodate=0
The service should display the uptodate=0 version of the page if small=1
is present, but the uptodate parameter is missing, to encourage super-
retro TBB users to upgrade.
The uptodate=0 version of the page should be visually different (yellow
text?) from the uptodate=1 version. It should contain a link to the proper
localized version of
https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en.
Note the fun juggling we will have to do with converting the TBB locale
string into the website locale string for the link to the torbrowser page.
Perhaps splitting off the country code is enough in all cases, but who
knows.
Also, perhaps we should keep the message as simple as possible so we can
populate the translations with google translate? Or is that just too
crazy?
