The module will now check daily with PowerShellGallery to see if there is a newer version of the module available. This check can be disabled with the new `DisableUpdateCheck` config property. The check happens asynchronously. The web request is kicked off when the module is loaded, but the result is only checked when the user runs a command. The result is logged at the Verbose level in any failure case as well as when the module is up-to-date. When there is a newer version available, it will write the message out as a Warning. The web request will only run once per day, and the user message will only be written once per day as well.
