   I wanna make a script to check what is the new version of WordPress everytime.

   I have many wordpress installed in my job and some of these are outdated, so I wanna know which these I need request the update.

   When I finish it, I can release this here or in another place, if you want.

   I wanna know if there is a variable or another way to get this information, may be a string in webpage or something like that.

   Now I am making with this code

   wget http://wordpress.org/download
   cat index.html | grep latest= | awk -F= {'print $3'} | awk -F\' {'print $1'}
   The return know is 2.8 (the latest version), but I am not sure if the WordPress.org will keep this way forever.

   You can use these variables (defined in wp-includes/version.php).
   

   $wp_version = '2.8';
   $wp_db_version = 11548;
   $tinymce_version = '3241-1141';
   $manifest_version = '20090610';

   You are looking at index.html and sometimes that doesn't get updated, but wp-includes/version.php and $wp_version do get updated.

   Now you might look at wp-admin/includes/update.php to see how WordPress figures out if you need to upgrade or not.

   Sorry can't offer more than that...

   MichaelH,

   Sorry, but you realy didn't understand me.

   I already can get if my wordpress is updated or not. I wanna now the latest version of wordpress.

   It should get in website of wordpress.org, not in my wordpress. Did you get it?

   Doesn't it work already? You just said it was getting 2.8 from wordpress.org.

   Gomex i think you missed something..

   Now you might look at wp-admin/includes/update.php to see how WordPress figures out if you need to upgrade or not.

   WordPress essentially does a 'check' to see which is the current version, so take a look at how 'Wordpress' does it...
