Description
Environment
- TeXstudio: 2.12.14
- OS: macOS 10.14.2
Proposal
https://github.com/sparkle-project/Sparkle could be used to automatically download new updates, using the update window every macOS user is familiar with (https://sparkle-project.org).
Currently you just get the notification, that an update is available, but have to download and extract it manually.
