Is there an extension that would check whether there are newer versions available to the installed extensions on a Joomla site, and would notify the site administrator?
Ideally, I am looking for something similar to Drupal’s “Update” module.
I understand that there is no central place for keeping all these modules and their versions for Joomla, but at least a lot of them are available on the Joomla Extensions site, along with the needed information, so perhaps somebody wrote a tool that checks that source?
Aha, looks like this is to be included in Joomla 1.6, according to this description (check out the “Find Updates” button, looks great).
