Description
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to automatically update PgAdmin when a new version has arrived. Today PgAdmin releases a new version almost every month and we get an enlightening but annoying message everytime we start PgAdmin. But to get rid of the message we need to manually install the new version.
I would very much like the option automatically download and update PgAdmin in the background?
