#260 JSON url for application code to detect when a new release is available.

[Charles Bentley]

Hello,

Provide a project based json URL that returns an json object describing the state/number of the latest release.

This allows application code to easily tell its users when a new release is available.

Could use JSON for many other communication purposes between applications in the wild and sourceforge project.

It's not in our API docs that I can find, but there is a JSON API for this. For example with the Azureus project: https://sourceforge.net/projects/azureus/best_release.json Note that default download for each project can be set differently for different platforms (Mac, Win, Linux, etc) and this API gives different results depending on the platform detected in the request's User Agent header.
