On a more serious note, I never close calibre (it mimizes itself), and Linux boxes go without reboots for long periods of time. Calibre's own notification function is hence circumvented.

The distribution of updates is the function best pushed to the distros. Except it is hard to keep up with Kovid.
I do a shutdown / restart of calibre every day or so to make sure I always know I'm running the latest.

Perhaps we could bribe Kovid to put in new functionality to do a version check every so many days for the Linux users in the crowd. :-)
