Research direction
Start by reviewing nixpkgs' pkgs/applications/networking/instant-messengers/wavebox/default.nix and the linked nixpkgs pull request #258429. Check whether that PR or a newer change already updates the package; the issue is done when the current Wavebox version is available in nixos-unstable.

Description
- Wavebox Version: Not Applicable
- Operating System & Version: Nixpkgs Unstable
Bug/Feature description
It seems that the wavebox pkgs has not been updated for a while in nixpkgs.
From a cursory checking, it seems that the only thing that needs to be updated from the build script is just the version number and SHA256 value, so perhaps an update request/notification of sort can be sent to the maintainer or github repo every time wavebox updates?
If not outright have Wavebox update those values directly, but that might add some responsibility that Wavebox cannot provide at the moment.
Regardless, would love for the nixpkgs to be updated more regularly now like the Flatpak version that seems to be updating fine now.
Edit: Oh, it looks like there's already a PR open that's currently on-going some checks (though it's pushing 10.117.18-2 for now)
