upgrades

[gedw99]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Once the cross platform builds are working, it would be good to add a self update facility.

Describe the solution you'd like

The GUI can poll or get a web hook ( from some server somewhere) and then tell the user to upgrade. Would be good to also have a forced update for hot patches.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I dont know if using GitHub as the source of the binaries is best or not.
I would presume that making it independent of GitHub would be best ?

Additional context

None at this stage.

There are a few different approach to this, so it's worth a discussion.

I agree this is a nice feature to have. 👍

I disagree, updates should happen when you use your package manager to update packages.

I think notifying the user about a new release its fine but I would prefer to let user decide if they want to update or not.
