Check wordpress-version

Overview

This plugin lets you track if a WordPress update is available. To check for updates, this plugin uses the Git Repo at https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/releases. To compare against the current/installed version of WordPress, the check has to run on the WordPress server itself and needs access to the WordPress installation directory.
