You should click the reload button to have Moonraker check for recent updates. Moonraker also checks for updates periodically, but the standard interval is set quite high, although that can be configured. In the config above, we have already decreased the value to 7 days (168 hours).
Review the release notes by clicking on the info icon next to the component.
