Description
**EDIT**: For current status, see https://github.com/jamulussoftware/jamulus/issues/1178#issuecomment-919784342
---
**Has this feature been discussed and generally agreed?**
Improving version checks has been previously discussed in #1120. As part of that issue reliability has been improved by checking two independent public servers.
This leaves the following unsolved:
- Disconnected environments with no Internet access can still not get update notifications.
- Should we ever have problems with the jamulus.io domain, we'd currently not have a way to signal updates.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
This issue is about deciding (and implementing) if we further want to extend this to checking the currently connected (possibly private) server.
**Describe alternatives that have been considered**
The alternative is not implementing it.
@jamulussoftware/maindevelopers Can you comment or add a reaction if this should be done? (My impression was that @softins did not consider it necessary while @pljones was in favor?)

Research direction
Start with the current-status comment, then review issue #1120 and linked pull request #1980 to understand what version-check work has already happened. The issue names no files or tests; done would require an agreed decision and implementation for checking the connected private server in disconnected environments.
