Description
@gcask have shown install wizzard for Windows version of Empty Epsilon. I recommend to enhance it further with automatic update check and notification (only in versions where it makes sense).
For me it makes sense:
- in installed Windows version
- in .deb package which is manually installed (without repository)
For me it does not make sense:
- in extracted .zip file (when I use zip file, I usually know what version I am running and why this version).
- in repository-managed packages (I know EE is in Fedora's RPMFusion repository and in Arch Linux package repositories)
This issue is for discussion on how this facility should be implemented so it is not annoying, yet it serves users well. Version mismatch on online events can be a big problem even for other clients, which have correct version.

Done means the supported cases, user experience, and implementation approach are agreed.
