v1.5.1: Update Notification

This is a small release that adds an update notification to Slipstream.

On launch, Slipstream now checks GitHub for the latest release in the background. If a new version is available, it will display this information with a link to the download page. This pop-up will only appear once per new version.

This does not automatically update the application; it only informs of updates, keeping the process simple and transparent. This is a compromise based on the suggestion in this issue.

Thanks to @santarl for the feature request.

v1.5: BakkesMod Support

Note: This version is outdated. Version 1.5.1 with update notifications is available here.

This release introduces a largely requested feature: automatic BakkesMod support for both Windows and Linux (and Steam Deck).

When you run Slipstream for the first time, you will now be prompted to enable BakkesMod. If you say yes, you'll be asked to locate your BakkesMod.exe, and Slipstream will handle launching it alongside the game. This is especially helpful on Linux to ensure both apps run in the same Proton environment.

Key Changes in v1.5:

• Automatic BakkesMod Launching: If enabled, Slipstream will launch BakkesMod.exe a few seconds after starting Rocket League.
• One-Time Setup: A simple "Yes / No" prompt has been added to the setup to configure BakkesMod.
• New Configuration Options: The config.json file now includes settings to enable/disable BakkesMod, set its path, and adjust the launch delay.

How to Use BakkesMod

• For New Users: Simply run the Slipstream.exe and follow the on-screen prompts.
• For Existing Users: To enable BakkesMod, it is recommended to delete your existing config.json file after replacing the Slipstream executable. This will trigger the setup prompts again on the next launch, allowing you to configure both Rocket League and BakkesMod cleanly.
