The client should not be informed by the server about new client versions. Instead, it should check autonomously, e.g. against GitHub or the FAF-API.

Will there still be a version check on the server at all? There should be a check whether client and server are compatible, or some kind of versioning of the server interface.

Yes, the server can still check whether the client is compatible or not. I recommend a PROTOCOL_VERSION = 1 for this purpose, so the server can deny incompatible clients.
