Detailed Description

Asynchronously queries the GitHub Releases API and emits a signal when a newer version is available.

Call checkForUpdates() once after the main window is shown. The check is skipped if one was already performed today. If the fetched release version is newer than the running application and has not been suppressed by the user, updateAvailable is emitted.
