if let Ok(Some(version)) = max_version!() {
println!("We've released a new version: {}!", version);

If you use this library for your binary, you should probably make this an optional feature. Simply checking for the latest version on [Crates.io] brings over a lot of dependencies in order to send a request to the API and parse the response. Some users may want to turn off this feature for a smaller binary. Some may simply prefer not to be told to install an update.
You can make this feature optional by adding this to your Cargo.toml.
toml
[dependencies]
check-latest = { version = "*", optional = true }
You can then selectively compile the parts of your binary that check for later releases with this attribute
to the parts that should be compiled if this feature is enabled.
