Description

If a new library is available the IDE will prompt you for an update. But this does not seem to happen for the IDE itself, but I remember that this worked before.

Is it just because I recompiled the IDE myself, or does this only happen on linux?

And if it works again, how can I deactivate it? I've found this, but is this still the correct way to do so?

```
# echo -e "\n# By default, don't notify the user of a new upstream version." \
# "\n# https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=773519" \
# "\nupdate.check=false" \
# >> build/shared/lib/preferences.txt
```
