MC has a feature called Check for Updates. You can find it under Help in the program. It checks the web site to see if there are any new, recommended updates. This can be done automatically by setting the interval in options for startup.

The update recommended may not be the very latest. Sometimes a newer version will be available on the download page, but we haven't moved it to the recommended status since it offers only minor changes.
