What is the 'official' way to check available version online in an application?

Check what the version command does, ie, $mirror/latest
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

I mean online, no TC running. Planned feature to be added to core2usb to indicate current version available and download.

Yes, the version command can query the latest version?

Hi curaga
I think what bmarkus wants to do is get the current version number from ibiblio from a non Linux
environment.

Can be done on WINDOWS embedded in a WINDOWS application, like core2usb.exe ?

Problem solved checking available ISO's at the ibiblio download area.
