Dear John,
You can convert this (not really tested + simplistic) bash script to 
whatever its Windows equivalent would be and run it to check if the version 
you have is the latest (released on Github) or not.

```
#/usr/bin/env bash
a=$(curl https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/latest -s -L -I -o 
/dev/null -w '%{url_effective}' | cut -d'/' -f8)
b=$(pandoc --version | cut -d' ' -f2 | head -n1)
if [ "$a" = "$b" ]
 then echo 'latest'
 else echo 'not latest'
fi
```

Cheers,
Pranesh
