Thanks to the hard work of several contributors, drupal.org can now automatically provide information about the latest official releases of drupal core and any contributed modules. The Update status module can check this information to tell you if your site needs to be updated. While it does not have information about development releases or modules acquired via CVS, if your site uses primarily officially released modules, you can easily tell which of your modules need to be updated.

This module will inform you that you are out of date by visiting the main administration page, and another page displays the status of Drupal and your installed modules. For more information, there is a Frequently Asked Questions available on the update status project page!

If you would like to suggest a new feature or report a problem, please search the update status issue queue first, and then submit a bug report or a feature request as appropriate. Comments on this post are easily lost and much harder for the update status maintainers track progress on and eventually resolve.

Drupal version: Drupal 5.x
