Add an option to check for updates (excluding alpha)

[trowieuk]

For those who have no interest in testing alpha versions, why not have the stable releases not check for alphas during update check. Alpha is unusable as-is so I don't need to be told an update to that is available.

The old "stable" version I presume you're talking about is 2.62.

I've abandoned that at this point, and the newer alphas are generally more stable than that ever was.
I could have released the latest alpha as a "stable" version but some people are still having permission issues that I just can't quite trace.

So if it's the update message on 2.6.2, as annoying as I'm sure it is I have no plans to go back and patch that one sorry.

2.6.2 doesn't crash then refuse to open, so for me, it's more stable. Love the new look and the idea of the watcher but it's not working my end. I didn't mean go back and patch it, I meant for future releases of versions you mark as stable.

Did you install the .NET 6 runtime?

When I get round to finishing it off, that will be an option definitely :) In fact the current version check file does have a separate check for pre-release vs stable versions (it's in the "database" branch)
