Bedrock Dedicated Server Version Query

For people running a dedicated Bedrock Server, it would be nice to have the ability to check for server version updates. The downside to querying is that you need to check every day for updates and that causes a lot of traffic (idk if Microsoft has a problem with this). Currently there is no way to check for updates automatically, without going to the website and downloading from the link manually without knowing what the full version number is in the URL to the .zip file. 


My suggestion:  Just host a single text file (this file should always have the same name in the URL). Inside the text file there should only be the version number, as it is in the downloadable link. Just put the link to the text file on the server download page that says "this is the current running version" or something like that.

This way we have one point of reference to a query with a version number on the inside that we can compare to (and update our 'auto download scripts'). The other benefit is that we don't have to download a "large" file everyday, only when we need it.
