Feature Request: Utilize GitHub Releases

[mergesort]

Heya @twostraws, moving the suggestion I provided here, with more details.

This is a feature request to begin using GitHub's Releases to more easily keep up with the progress of ControlRoom. Since using the app is currently predicated on building from source, there's no easy way to know how far from master you are, and what new features have been released since you last updated.

An bigger improvement would be to support prebuilt binaries with each release, but the ideal implementation for me would be to leverage GitHub's Releases API to show an alert in the app whenever there's a new release available.

An alternative approach (and maybe in conjunction with the above) would be to use GitHub's Commits API to see the commits on this repository, so the user can see what work has been done without having to go to GitHub.

Thanks a lot!
