The terminal-based updater in versions 25.07 to 25.09 can no longer be used to update to recent versions due to packaging changes. We have a pinned forum announcement about that, but an in-app message would be more useful.
AnkiWeb supports sending one-time messages to users via the update check run on startup. We can use that to notify affected users.
