Good day We dev team,
With recent emails about probe/anchor versions to be up to date, especially the software/virtual probes where the owners/hosts needs to update them “manually”,
I went checking to see, but I haven’t found a page with my probes/anchors and their versions, and the “Expected” current/stable/test versions to be updateable too.
perhaps also system tags “OldFirmware” and/or “NewFirmwareAvailable” and/or “Stale/oldFirmwre” ?

Dear all, especially software probe hosts,Many of you contribute to RIPE Atlas by running one or more software probes. Thank you for doing so!In the case of software probes you, the host, are in control of the installation and upgrade process. We noticed that there are many probes that have been installed, but not upgraded over time.We'd like to inform you that early next week we'll activate a feature in the system where we'll periodically remind software probe hosts with non-newest versions to upgrade their probes. We expect that at some point later we'll also start enforcing the use of newer versions.Please note that since we provide multiple binary releases, it's also possible to set up automatic package updates for the popular platforms (Debian, RHEL, Raspberry). We'd recommend using this feature (in general, not necessarily just for the probe package).You can find full upgrade instructions for the supported platforms at https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-software-probe#upgradingRegards,Robert Kisteleki, for the RIPE Atlas team
