Description

@catarak @lmccart and I discussed this on a call yesterday. At some point in the future we'd like to have a library management system (#4), but for now we need a simple way to keep the p5.js version referenced in index.html up-to-date. We would not change index.html in existing projects (or "duplicated" projects) but would simply use the current p5.js version (0.5.4 at the time of filing this issue) whenever a "new" project is created.

@lmccart can you remind us what the url is to check the current p5 version? It could be checked something like once a day or each time "new" is clicked.

Did I get this right?

Research direction

Start by tracing the new-project flow and how index.html is generated or selected. Determine how the current p5.js version can be checked, then verify that newly created projects use it while existing and duplicated projects remain unchanged.
