Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/13437

State: closed
Merged: Yes


This PR adds support to the About Dialog for checking the store to see if there's a new version of the Terminal package available. We'll only do this once per day, per terminal window.

In dev mode, we'll always fake it and say there's an update to x.y.z available.

This also involved pulling all of the About dialog code out into its own class. All that is goodness.

We don't currently provide a button for installing the update. We just check. Incremental progress is better than none.
