With the release of the Plugin Store, we soft-launched an API that would allow an external source to get the details of the latest release for the specified plugin. We really hadn't intended to publish it because it is our intention to deliver a more fully developed API later (with API keys, etc), but we've had a lot of developers ask for the ability to get the current release from the store, so we decided to go ahead and publish this one.
We want to provide an example of how you might call this from within a plugin. Eventually we will have version checking and update notifications available as a built-in feature of plugins. In the meantime, however, you can follow this pattern.
