AttributeError: 'CheckForUpdateThread' object has no attribute 'isAlive'. Did you mean: 'is_alive'?

How to repeat:
Select menu entry - Help:Check for Updates

Popup with message appears:

Error
Unhandled exception:
'CheckForUpdateThread' object has no attribute 'isAlive'
Check the log for more details.
OK

Suggested fix:
Fix the self.isAlive() function name - rename as self.is_alive() -  in wb_utils_grt.py file at:
