Support Self-Updating

I think this feature can exist as an official library under the wailsapp organization, and developers can choose to use it or not, and should not be built into the wails project.

This way developers can customize their auto-update strategy and we can provide guidance and examples.

I am very interested by this but does not have access to the slack post in question. Has anyone tested rhysd/go-github-selfupdate with wails ?

[annikovk]

I'm using it with wails for some time. Work smoothly. Implemented like that:

func CheckForUpdate(currentVersion string) (bool, string, string) {
	latest, found, err := selfupdate.DetectLatest("annikovk/IntelliJ-Log-Analyzer")
	if err != nil {
		log.Println("Error occurred while detecting version:", err)
		return false, "", ""
	}
	v := semver.MustParse(currentVersion)
	if !found || latest.Version.LTE(v) {
		log.Println("Current version is the latest")
		return false, "", ""
	}
	return true, latest.Version.String(), latest.ReleaseNotes
}

Love the work you're doing on the log analyser 🔥

Would love a guide on how to do this in the docs ;-)
