Looks good. Except for that little "." UI glitch in the text, which also introduces a inconsistent line gap :-)

Hi all,

please find the attached changeset which implements a small VM update reminder as proposed. :-)

Best,
Christoph

=============== Summary ===============

Change Set:        vm-update-reminder
Date:            22 September 2022
Author:            Christoph Thiede

Tot the 'update completed' dialog, adds a short reminder if a newer OSVM release is available. For different VMs, the reminder will not appear. The latest release number is stored in SystemVersion>>#recommendedVMBuildNumber and should be updated after each VM release. See http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/vm-dev/2022-September/038412.html.
