## Descripción

Easy Updates Menu is a lightweight plugin that enhances your WordPress admin interface
by adding a convenient “Updates” submenu item under the Plugins menu. This submenu
only appears when there are plugin updates available, making it easier to quickly
access and manage pending updates.

We’ve all dealt with slow servers and clunky setups when running maintenance on 
sites. How frustrating is it to log in to the dashboard, click on ‘Installed Plugins’,
then click ‘Updates’? It eats up precious time. With Easy Updates Menu, you can 
simply log in to the dashboard, click “Updates,” and start updating without the 
hassle.

#### Features

 * Adds a dynamic submenu item: Plugins  Updates
 * Shows the number of available updates in the menu
 * Only visible when plugin updates are available
 * Direct access to the updates view
 * Respects WordPress user capabilities

#### How It Works

The plugin automatically checks for available plugin updates and adds a submenu 
item when updates are found. Clicking the submenu takes you directly to the plugins
update screen, streamlining your update workflow.

#### User Permissions

The submenu is only visible to users with the ‘update_plugins’ capability, maintaining
proper WordPress security practices.
