Bug Description
When JHelioviewer detects a newer version:
1) Display a click-able icon in the lower-right corner of the window indicating that an update is available to download. When the user clicks on the icon, the update should either be downloaded right away, or the user should be sent to a location where they can download the latest version.
2) Instead of displaying a popup dialog each time the user runs JHV, instead display a small "tooltip" or "growl" style notification near the update icon at the bottom right corner of the screen. Do not display the popup again unless an even newer version becomes available.
This is related to bug #532734.

Okay, a few comments about that:
1) The current implementation was really a quick work as at that point the release seemed closer and only very little time left. Hence it is very basic and lacks all advanced features.
2) Doing some message bar and include it into JHelioviewer sounds nice but the first is some more effort - anyone?
3) At the moment you can select "remind me later" at the pop up to suppress the information for a longer time. I think this is quite the standard behaviour.
4) In the normal usecase you *should* run the latest version and as above the message can be suppressed.
So for the moment I personally think the behaviour is fine and as wanted. But in case of adding some log or message area, I agree this should be included. So putting it to the wishlist?
