Can I suppress "New Textpattern pre-release version" info on Diags?
New Textpattern pre-release version 4.9.0-beta.1 available for download. Please visit the Textpattern website for more information.
Hooray!
…but I don’t want to see that notification in Diagnostics for some sites. Can I turn it off? Perhaps in a config.php setting, or other wizardry.
Bonus points for disabling notifications for production versions, too.

You can’t at the moment but we could add something in config.php, perhaps, as you suggest. Seems a bit edge-casey to offer a “Check for updates?” Yes/No radio in Prefs.

Check for updates? Meaning: only stable-release updates. Or: “Check for pre-release updates?” Yes/No, where checking for full release (4.9.0, 4.9.1,…5.0.0…) is automatic. “pre-release ” could be labeled “beta” as well.
Vienna-RSS has this option in the advanced preferences panel for example. Recent macOS versions have this option as well (screen grab).

Meanwhile, you can hide it in a custom.css inside the admin theme in use:
#pre_flight_check .information { display:none; }Reload panel, enjoy. Note that this will hide all “information”-type notices in that block.

Happy to add a pref if it is a more widely sought after feature not to want the latest version mentioned.

Thanks, Bloke and phiw13.
Context: I have a bunch of Textpattern sites, some are live, some are being built, some are dev sites. The preflight checks are how I gauge ‘readiness’ for a site. Green (good) text, all checks passed, that’s fine by me, please drive through, etc.
The notification of a new version available overrides the green (good) text, and it’s blue (informational) in my dark mode Textpattern theme, so it’s a cognitive ‘bump’ from what I’m expecting. I won’t see the green (good) text until December or so when 4.9.0 is unleashed.
It’d be nice to be able to dismiss that blue notification, especially given the months-long incubation period that we have with 4.9.0. It looks like I can use phiw13’s CSS override to achieve that, if all checks pass that presumably has another CSS class that’s not .information.
