Description: If a new version of OpenRefine is available a message is displayed: "New Version Download OpenRefine v3.5.1 now."

Question: Is it possible to disable this message?

Rationale: We run OpenRefine in a controlled environment, in which any software needs to be packaged and signed. The user cannot update the software. Therefore it would be nice not to display that message.

Assuming you have set up your development environment (https://docs.openrefine.org/technical-reference/build-test-run) you should be able to see the update notice by manually downgrading your version number (for instance to 3.4.1) in RefineServlet.java and recompiling. Then, the task consists in introducing a new configuration parameter (for instance in refine.ini) which controls whether this update notice is displayed.
