Launcher updates

At startup (if the update check is on) the launcher checks its own latest GitHub release and asks whether to update:

Update now downloads the new installer, closes the launcher, installs over the current copy and reopens it. The update is logged in self-update.log in the settings folder.
Skip this version stops asking about that version. Clicking Check for updates in the top bar offers it again.
