Introducing Update Channels
This PR enables the use of update channels for Rocket.Chat Desktop, allowing us to deliver more stable releases through a structured testing process.
What are Update Channels?
Update channels let users choose how they want to receive updates:
How It Works
Users can switch channels in Settings → About → Update Channel and will only receive updates from their chosen channel.
Note: Developer mode must be enabled for the update channel selector to appear in the About dialog. Enable it via Help → Developer Mode in the menu bar.
Release Process
Instead of releasing everything directly to stable, we now follow this flow:
4.5.1-alpha.1) - Early testing with power users4.5.1-beta.1) - Broader testing when alpha is stable4.5.1) - Final release for everyoneBenefits
