I really support always showing the dialog, the above was a try to make a good compromise between the always, sometimes, and never show (like eg. in BCDC++). 
And let me remind you that because of using Coral cache by default, many users get the upgrade reminder several days later than it was uploaded so I think the 3 days interval isn't much worse than the current way.

Anyway as an option, we can add a Severity parameter to the Message node
in version.xml which can regulate the nag window's behaviour between
noshow, 3 days interval and always....

Title:
  Upgrade Dialog Should Only Be Persistent If Necessary

Status in DC++:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Recently I reported this bug:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/dcplusplus/+bug/344833 . This was resolved
  as wont fix.

  The argument against is that new versions of DC++ introduces new
  network features. If people keep using old versions of DC++, they are
  holding back the network. My suggestion is to only show the upgrade
  dialog every time when the user is currently using a client that holds
  back the network. If the older version the user is using does not
  affect the network in a negative way, the user should be able to
  disable the upgrade dialog until the next upgrade of DC++ is
  available.

  Also, most people do not understand or read the text presented on the
  upgrade dialog. Just "Do you want to upgrade?" is way more effective.
