Describe the Bug

The "new-version" check currently uses the Newt GitHub tags API to determine the latest version of Newt. This can cause pangolin to report updates that do not actually exist (as of now it reports that a newer version than Newtv1.10.2 exist because the tags endpoint returns already the (upcoming) 1.10.3.

Environment

OS Type & Version: (e.g., Ubuntu 22.04): Debian 12
Pangolin Version: 1.16.2
Gerbil Version: 1.3.0
Traefik Version: 3.6.1
Newt Version: 1.10.2
Olm Version: (if applicable)

To Reproduce

Have everything running on the latest version, go to pangolin -> sites and you should see a update available icon for newt (see screenshot).
You can also manually check the API call to see that it returns for Newt already tag 1.10.3 as seen here

Expected Behavior

Only to report a new version being available it there is an actual release available, not just when a new tag is published.
