Client update

Defguard Client regularly checks for updates and in order to do so operating system name and installed application version are sent to the Defguard update service.

This functionality can be turned off in the Client settings under Updates section so that no data is sent.

If a new version is available, a notification with a download button will be shown near the bottom of the menu.
