  • Add a precision in the documentation that the check function only sends a desktop notification if the list of pending updates differs from the last check (in other words, that there is at least one new update available compared to the last check).
  • Advise using systemctl --user edit --full instead of a "regular" edit to modify the check cycle. While it is "overkill" in most cases, it is less complex/confusing to use and allow more flexibility (for instance, it allows to get completely rid of a parameters and not just to modify its value). The arch-update.timer is not subject to change upstream wise so there's no apparent issue recommanding using a --full edit.

Fixes #164

…the check cycle

- Add a precision in the documentation that the check function only sends a desktop notification if the list of pending updates differs from the last check (in other words, that there is at least one **new** update available compared to the last check).
- Advise using `systemctl --user edit --full` instead of a "regular" edit to modify the check cycle. While it is "overkill" in most cases, it is less complex/confusing to use and allow more flexibility (for instance, it allows to get completely rid of a parameters and not just to modify its value). The `arch-update.timer` is not subject to change upstream wise so there's no apparent issue recommanding using a `--full` edit.
