Download installer released to github releases.
- Provide a fail safe mechanism such that download will continue from last place.
Execute installer
Notify user about the update
- Provide button to restart the application.

Installer does support most of things required for automatic updates. Now application needs to download the installer, and execute it through the Scheduled task.

Most of the works would be in getting the flow right between, github release + travis and application.

Also there is thing related to github release download limit per ip-address, this be an issue in real time, in ISP gives shared ip address to all it's users.
