Description

As an AppMap user, when I open the first AppMap diagram after a plugin update, I want to see what changes have been made in the plugin.

Example in Storybook: https://5fe18baf66f2280021e634d0-payyvhpqme.chromatic.com/iframe.html?id=pages-vs-code--extension-with-notification&viewMode=story

AC:

  • when the first AppMap gets open after an update from the previous version, the AppMap viewer displays release notes of the plugin
  • the release notes are not displayed in subsequent AppMap openings until the plugin gets updated again

In VS Code: https://github.com/applandinc/vscode-appland/pull/172
