I have fixed it by changing (rotarypluginupdater.php line 225):
if ( is_wp_error( $raw_response ) )
$version = false;

to
if ( is_wp_error( $raw_response ) )
return false;

The problem is because in my case (my wordpress development machine is behind proxy) wordpress cannot access external urls...
The error I am getting is ($raw_response->get_error_message();):
