New releases are seen so infrequently that you really do not need an
update button.

i think that's why we need it... i don't use the svn, so i never will
know when there's a new version...

How to do it in Ubuntu based Linux distros is solved in parallel
thread 'Updating'.
Probably you are on Windows. If you often visit this forum, here are
usually announcement before and after releasing of new versions.

Then the only button you need is a shortcut to this url where new
releases are announced:
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/board,18.0.html
If you check let's say twice a year, you are never more then a couple
of months behind.
