aider: Refactored versioncheck.py to use the PyPI JSON API instead of web scraping.

# Aider chat conversation:

USER: can we use a json api not scrape?

ASSISTANT: Yes, we can use the PyPI JSON API to get the information about the latest version of the package.

We will modify the `aider/versioncheck.py` file.

Here are the steps:

1. Send a GET request to the PyPI JSON API for the `aider` package.
2. Parse the JSON response to find the latest version number.
3. Compare this version number with the current version of `aider` installed in the system.
4. Print a message indicating whether a newer version is available.

Here is the code:

```python
aider/versioncheck.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import pkg_resources

def check_version():
    response = requests.get('https://pypi.org/project/aider/')
    soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')
    latest_version = soup.find('h1', {'class': 'package-header__name'}).text.split()[-1]
    current_version = pkg_resources.get_distribution('aider').version

    if pkg_resources.parse_version(latest_version) > pkg_resources.parse_version(current_version):
        print(f"A newer version of 'aider' is available: {latest_version}")
    else:
        print("You are using the latest version of 'aider'.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    check_version()
=======
import requests
import pkg_resources

def check_version():
    response = requests.get('https://pypi.org/pypi/aider/json')
    data = response.json()
    latest_version = data['info']['version']
    current_version = pkg_resources.get_distribution('aider').version

    if pkg_resources.parse_version(latest_version) > pkg_resources.parse_version(current_version):
        print(f"A newer version of 'aider' is available: {latest_version}")
    else:
        print("You are using the latest version of 'aider'.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    check_version()
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```

This version of the script uses the PyPI JSON API, which is more reliable and faster than web scraping.
