New versions "What's new"

Hi Hackers,

I have noticed a lot of users are unaware of new features or changes that are made from one version to another. 

Maybe a "What's new" pop up window can be added, showing when the user opens the app for the first time after an upgrade? Does something similar already exist?

Thanks.

If this were github, I'd press the thumbs up button, but here is the next best thing. 👍

I'm not against the idea if someone wants to come up with a patch. Maybe just a message flash that appears the first time a new version is run, with a message saying "Welcome to pgAdmin 4 vX.Y. Click <here> to see what has changed in this version.", with <here> linking to the release notes in the docs?
