AutoUpdate Feature - Add Operation Details + RC1 erroneously auto-updates to 0.21.2

[LB45440078L]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Problem description

When doing an automatic update of the app, using an AppImage release, there's no sort of progress or detail of what's happening during it.
On slow computers, an update can take several minutes, and since the app gets stuck and doesn't have a loading bar or any step, one may be easily prone to close it or unable to know if installation steps are proceeding successfully.

Maybe your update Progress Bar is being hidden behind the main window, it should be On Top as mine is:

Oh, so there's supposed to be a progress bar already.
I will try doing another update and seeing if it's an issue with the windows not opening.

Further updates on this issue.
I was on release candidate 1.0.
I pressed the update button, and it downloaded FreeCAD 0.21.1... ?

I don't know Sir... doesn't sound like an "update" 💀
