Use the dev tools to control when to show the New version message at startup:

1. Change the storage://global/releasenotes/lastversion value to an older version
2. Reload. You should get the popup asking whether you'd like to read the release notes

The release notes now show in-product. Make sure they look OK and display images. If for any reason they fail to load, a browser window should open to the release notes link, just as before.

@joaomoreno how do I test this in Insiders? I tried setting the version in package.json but it didn't make a difference. See #12792

[joaomoreno]

If you set the version in package.json to 1.5.0 and get the message, it should work. In any error case (no internet, firewall blocking, etc) you'll get redirected to the browser just as before.

K, got it to work. The problem is 1.6.0 doesn't have notes I assume.
