feat: check for updates

[setchy]

Based on #1395 from @bquorning

Draft PR to consider:

• Adding a context menu for checking for updates manually
• Adding a scheduled timer to check for updates automatically (not just on app start)
• Display somewhere in the UI a visual indicator when there is a new version available

[setchy]

Latest version

Update available

Love the idea, but I think the implementation in the UI is a bit weird. The behaviour that I see in these menubar apps is usually an indicator in the icon of the menubar and I think it is less intrusive and more informative at the same time, what do you think?

Example: Ollama

I like that approach. Would you be interested in helping pivot this way?

I also like the restart to update context menu entry. That seems better than doing it automatically

UPDATE: split the following out into #1399

Another thought, maybe our menu system could adopt a hierarchy similar to this:

• check for update
  -- show status if update available
  -- show restart to update if available
• separator
• Developer (sub menu)
  -- Reload
  -- Toggle Developer Tools
  -- separator
• Quit

@afonsojramos - pushed updates to this branch that add the extra context menu elements.

Not sure the best way to update the tray icon. We'd either need to create a new png, or, manipulate the tray title (used for notification counts) to display a visual indicator

For now, I've used the tray title

Really nice
