As described in https://app.cucumber.pro/projects/data-curator/documents/branch/develop/test/features/data_curator/check-for-update.feature

Note planned changes to the auto-updated may mean this feature should be implemented towards the end of v2.0.0.

Moving to 1.x.x because...

Github's Electron team is building a new free webservice and npm module that open-source Electron apps can use to easily update themselves. To use this service, your Electron app must meet the following requirements:

✅Your app is in a public GitHub repo ✅Your app builds are published using GitHub Releases ✅Your app is code-signed ✅Your macOS builds include a zip version. (If you're publishing for mac)

GitHub is seeking beta testers
