NetBox version

v3.2.1

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Hi,

Don't know if it was already asked before (didn't find by searching) but if possible, I'd love to have a small warning whenever a new version is available.

Something discrete but that would open GitHub repository when clicked.

Use case

With this functionality, no need to check/rely on GitHub to know if there is a new release 😃

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

No response

You're in luck: Setting the RELEASE_CHECK_URL config parameter to https://api.github.com/repos/netbox-community/netbox/releases will do just that.
