Like i said in the title.
This will help everyone to notice that there is a new version of SAMP out!
Since there are always a bunch of people that aren't aware of a new server/client release version.
I don't see why this isn't already added. Won't be a big deal or part to script/build.
Since this is a priority i decided to write a topic about it here.
Keep it high people so the developers can reach and see it.
Thank you.

Don't you think people have to download SA-MP client again for that? That will be exactly the same thing actually.

Notification would be just fine. Up to them if they update or not.
I can tell you that more people get confused by the fact that they can't find or realise that there is a later/newer version than player on older versions.

I think it would be useless. If people need to update, then they would OR the server owner would notify his/her players that the client needs to be updated in order to play. If people don't wanna update, they don't have to.

What if some SA:MP noob sees the notification, updates, and then can't access their favorite server? Not everyone knows that SA:MP client/server versions have to match in order for the player to be able to access the server.
It's more work than it's worth!

Every reputable server will update their server within a week of a major release or they'll risk losing players. Nevertheless, I think we can all agree that a notification would be a better way of telling that there is a client/server mismatch, rather than the meaningless 'Connecting to x.x.x.x ...' message.
For some odd reason, there is a GetPlayerVersion function, but it's useless since a connection can't be established with a client/server mismatch.

Yup man, we really need a dialog box which would show and there will be like ''There a new SAMP Version if you want click here or Close and there's a button ''do not show me again'' if you don't want to update.

this would be useful, yes.
+ Or what would be better is if you can update from the client menu, it downloads, closes samp client, and updates it.
This might also be useful during RC-periods prior the release of a new version, where multiple SA-MP updates happen within a few months.
