The current auto-update behavior is fairly basic and needs to be enhanced to improve the number of users that upgrade to the latest release.
Current Behavior
- At launch and periodically the application checks for updates
- The tray application changes the icon when an update is available
- Menu bar has "Download Update" entry which launches web browser to download the app
Desired Behavior
- At launch and periodically the application checks for updates
- The application presents a dialog alerting the user to a new version along with release notes
- The user can select skip this version or update
- Update downloads the version with a progress bar in the window
- Application silently runs the installer

Holding on this overall epic until we have UX designs for the new behavior
