Calibre has let you know that a new version of calibre is available as far back as I recall (2011?). Plugins are handled the same way. The new versions are not automatically installed. For me, this is the
best only way to handle updates. You can also check the calibre What's new from the download page. For plugins, I check the plugin thread if I haven't already been following it.

Update checking should be mandatory. Installing updates should require me to make that decision.
