    # In the GTK version you could make updates by downloading new versions of
    # the files from the GIT repository. But it's not an easy thing to set up
    # seamlessly for the user. IK because similar system is already in place
    # for the Blender-Organizer.
    
    # This system will be somewhat simplified in the UI side of things. But a 
    # tiny bit more complex from the underliying system. For example. In the old
    # release there was no notification of the update. 
    
    # So this function here will check for updates. 
    
    # Now I have no idea how to implement update notifications. And whether I 
    # should in the first place. In the old update system I had often made 
    # easy to fix mistakes. But I was relying a little bit on the fact that
    # people don't see immediatly that the update is available. Which I could
    # use to fix all the mistakes I found without calling a whole another 
    # version. Maybe it's a good thing here too.
    
    # I think that since VCStudio Project-Manager is going to be ran as a kind
    # of launcher thingy... People will more often use the VCStudio it self and
    # rearly the launcher. And so, some kind of automatic update check could be
    # done. And no nasty notification. Just a number on the update icon.
    
    # Now to make it work. I need to separate the reading of network to a separate
    # python file. update_request.py . That I gonna run as a subprocess to this
    # file.
    
    # The updating it self will have to be confirmed by the user. For which will
    # need a UI layer. pm_updateLayer.py and a update download file for actually
    # donloading and saving those files. update_download.py
    
    # So let's start already.
