Notification if Perch Runway needs to be updated?

I've been working to update two Perch Runway sites today. I saw the version number is 3.0.1 on a site I upgraded from Perch Runway 2 to Perch Runway 3.

On another site which I had already updated that it was running 3.0, but there wasn't a note that there was an update available.

Is there a note that I didn't see to let me know if Perch Runway needs to be updated?

I seem to recall in there was a note in Perch 2. (Amazing how quickly I've become used to Perch 3. Lovely update!)

Also, is the update button the recommended method to update locally? I'm not sure if I would use it to update a production site to be safe, yet it does save a few steps in the process which is very helpful.

Here's my summary info from the site where I didn't see the note that there was an update available. (BTW, thank you for listing if installed AddOns are up-to-date).

We only ever show the notification for what we consider to be priority updates so we aren't constantly notifying you.

We would suggest updating each time you do any work on the site, and especially prior to requesting support for an issue.
