any announcements new ALKiln versions have even if ALKilnInThePlayground isn't itself updated.

Closes #1014

In this PR, I have:

  • Added tests for any new features or bug fixes (if relevant)
  • Added my changes to the CHANGELOG.md at the top, under the "Unreleased" section
  • Ensured issues that this PR closes will be automatically closed

Reason for this PR

Sometimes access to new features in our ALKiln version update necessitates authors to update their version of ALKilnInThePlayground. Potentially in future there will be breaking changes we need to tell authors about. If an author doesn't stay in the loop with messages in the channels or the changelog, then we haven't had a way of letting them know. Now, though, ALKiln will have a way to show its own messages based on its version, so we can write friendly messages to authors whenever we want! (Judiciously)

See #1014 for further details.

Any manual testing I have done to ensure my PR is working

Ran it in the command line. Will continue tests with ALKilnInThePlayground.

Reasons this is a draft

Still todo:

  • Clean up brainstorming comments in script
  • Write docs to describe this choice and its purpose
  • Add tests
  • Test with ALKiP
