Do you mean simply returning if there are updates available based on comparing the installed to the current versions?

i am talking about checking for updates via the API not the command line!
We haven't planned on updating the PHP API to provide version information, but it is planned for the upcoming API which will power the new web interface.

is there a ETA on the new UI?
No official ETA, but I hope to get it at least in a beta state by the end of the year. Development is coming along, but we would like to have it have all or most of the features of the current web interface before fully releasing it.
You can see the new web interface here: GitHub - pi-hole/web: Pi-hole Web Interface for viewing stats and managing your Pi-hole http://web.pi-hole.io/

I actually coded this to about 90% before I got distracted. I'll see if I can finish the code and test it this week but this isn't a promise.
