Description

As the core proxy gets a lot more updates than this GUI, I suggest;
Have the client check for updates of DNSCrypt-proxy, and display the info in the client somewhere.
If the updated core can be pulled and installed via the client, that would be ideal for end users.

I understand you may prefer testing a build with the UI before bundling for obvious reasons.
Thing is a lot of the updates have been bug fixes as well as new features, so perhaps a manual forced update with a warning that it has not been tested with Simple DNSCrypt would be adequate.
At the least giving the user a link to the update would seem sensible if there are security issues that are more important than UI functionality.
Many users are not aware the GUI and the proxy are 2 different projects, so will assume that updates will include any important security fixes.
