Probably easier to do this here than over PM.

If you want to build your own new version notification system based on what Nova does, you'll need a server somewhere to hold a file with the version information. You probably could do it with Github by just uploading your YAML or XML or whatever type of file to the downloads section and then linking directly to it.

The way Nova does it is by grabbing a YAML file from the Anodyne server and then parsing the contents of the file into an array. From there, Nova can figure out what the current version is as opposed to what Anodyne is reporting. You can actually see that file in `application/assets/version.yml` if you're looking for an example.

If you have more specific questions, just fire away.
