Alright, here's the script I wrote to get notified by email when a new version of Batocera is released:
<?php
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// CHECK IF NEW BATOCERA LINUX VERSION IS AVAILABLE //
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Pre-Check: Save version to file if file doesn't exist, yet
if (!file_exists('batocera_old.txt')) {
$batocera_old = file_get_contents('https://batocera-linux.xorhub.com/upgrades/odroidxu4/stable/last/recalbox.version');
file_put_contents('batocera_old.txt', $batocera_old);
}
// Compare versions
$batocera_new = file_get_contents('https://batocera-linux.xorhub.com/upgrades/odroidxu4/stable/last/recalbox.version');
$batocera_old = file_get_contents('batocera_old.txt');
// Send mail if new version is available
if ($batocera_old != $batocera_new) {
$receiver = 'YOUREMAILADDRESSHERE';
$subject = 'New Batocera version available!';
$message = $batocera_new;
$headers = 'From: ' . $receiver . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: ' . $receiver . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($receiver, $subject, $message, $headers);
echo $subject;
}
else {
echo 'No new version available (current version still '.$batocera_old.')';
}
// Update temp file
file_put_contents('batocera_old.txt', $batocera_new);
?>
I run this script every 4 hours using a cronjob, hope this is ok?
