Closes #933.

To do

  • Add icon to browser action menu; icon links to latest release notes in new tab
  • Make that icon only appear upon first load of new version
  • Default "Show Release Notes on Update" in prefs page to off

Note: There was discussion in #933 about changing the browser bar icon itself in some way to indicate the new version. Suggesting we leave this off (at least for now) - we have significant cube icon mods in #662 and I think the cube icon may be "full up" on its ability to convey different states once that issue is implemented.

Thanks! I'll try to wire this up today 🤞

this hides new release notes indicator until new version is  released
and persists it until the newer release shipps

it also converts old opt-out for opening releasenotes in a new tab to an opt-in

LGTM! Thank you @jessicaschilling

  • I've wired it up
    • Turned out to be more involved than expected, mostly because choo does not support async render functions: I had to calculate show/hide flag in background page and then send it to the popup.
  • Added migration from opt-out to opt-in
  • If someone opts-in to opening release notes in a new tab, the redundant notification via icon won't be displayed.

Mind double checking if works as expected?

ps. while at it, mind eyeballing in Firefox? I see this weird cut-off, but it could be just my Linux box:

@lidel -- confirmed everything works as expected in both Chrome and Firefox on Mac. Also saw the same FF visual glitch, and adjusted icons' viewBoxes to compensate. Mind taking one final look on your end?
