Please add a Check For Updates function (menu item) to the Client and Server (GUI). It could be done in phases:

Query Github to see if there is a newer version than what is running, and informs the user, perhaps with a hyperlink to the newest version.

If there is a newer version, offer to download it.

After downloading, automatically install.

Provide an "always update on startup" option.

  If the list of public servers is anything to go by, encouraging people to update to the latest version would be nice :-) http://jamulus.softins.co.uk/

  Thanks, Volker! I looked for a place to log issues here (SourceForge), but should have looked at GitHub and logged directly there. I'll do that in the future. :)
