Hi, I want to check programmatically when a new version is out so I can download it.

I tried getting the file size of https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl with HTTP HEAD, but the information is not returned. I don't want to download the whole thing every time obviously.

Is there a good way?
