Another, related, thing:<br>
As I said, most updates right now are new (and updated)
translations. And apart from the fact that most people don't
want/need another translation, it seems like a waste of time
(yours, mostly) to go through the review process for such things.<br>
<br>
Would it be permissible to have an update checker in the theme?
That is, to occasionally "phone home" and display information
about for example a new translation, or even give the user the
opportunity to try a beta?<br>
<br>
I know the "phone home" thing is considered bad. But is that a
rule without exceptions?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>

This is probably the wrong forum for this, but I don't know
of any other place where I can get an answer to my question.
I triedhttp://<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://make.wordpress.org/themes/" target="_blank">make.wordpress.org/themes/</a>,
but that wasn't it.<br>
<br>
<br>
I have a theme, Kippis, that is in a phase where I mostly
add translations. That means that most people are not
interested in the updates. It is totally unneccesary for a
site to update, just to add a language it doesn't use.<br>
<br>
So, I was looking for a way to add to the WordPress Updates
page, the one that now says something like this: "You have
version 1.13.1 installed. Update to 1.13.3."<br>
<br>
I'd like to add a short description of what is new, like
"Added german language support".<br>
Can it be done?<br>
