Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked ZeroTier issue #303 and the current Windows and Mac OS UI and update mechanisms. Determine whether an update mechanism is still available and define how the UI should notify users and provide installation, with behavior that is safe for remote machines.】【。}સ 天天中彩票篮球 Tegen?

Description

Feel free to close this if already implemented, but for Windows and Mac OS it would be nice if this was able to inform the user that an update is available and give them a way to install it.

I found this issue from a while ago: https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/issues/303

I'm not sure if that mechanism is still there, but it seems like something that would be nice to expose through the UI; particularly on remote machines you might be accessing through ZeroTier where attempting to update via the (graphical or not) installer is conceivably more risky.
