Question: Is it possible to disable the update notice?

[ToVie]

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.

Hello @wetneb I downloaded the OpenRefine version 3.5.1, Sorry to bother you but how can I reproduce this issue? Really sorry to bother you

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.
