Launcher should automatically detect game updates for selected branch

I liked how the old version of the Launcher was able to connect with the Downloads page on the OpenRCT2 site, find the latest version and cross-reference that version number with the version currently installed. I'd love it if the new Launcher could do that, but take it one step further by connecting with the Downloads page on the OpenRCT2 site, find the latest version for each branch, tell you whether or not your game is running the latest version on the selected branch and automatically update the game if you're running an older version.

Other ideas for this include:

• Being able to decide how frequently the launcher checks for updates (ex. on program launch, daily, weekly, etc.)
• Which updates the launcher should notify you about and which updates it should ignore (ex. ignore new builds within the same version as the installed version, but notify you about new versions, notify about all updates, don't notify and install all updates silently, notify about all updates but let user choose whether to install or not, etc.)
• The status of the installation of a new update
• Which program(s) has a new update (in other words, check for updates to both OpenRCT2 and the OpenRCT2 Launcher, then automatically download any available updates).

I hope the Automatic Update feature gets worked on soon. If I had the skill to do it myself, I would definitely at least attempt to improve the system that's currently in place.

I've noticed that OpenRCT Launcher has stopped updating to the latest development build.
