This is a flawed version checker. It is based on GitHubs REST API, unauthenticated requests are rate limited to 60 requests per hour.
If for any reason the check should fail, eg. no network connection, hit rate limit, or similar, we silently fail and assume the application is up-to-date.
The check only happens once on application startup for now, in the future we can support manually checking for updates and storing the time of the last check.
