Description

As of 2025-12-22, the current stable version of newt is 1.7.0, but the UI shows there is an available update. The newest version is 1.8.0-rc.0. And I think it will be better to show the update icon when there is a newest stable update, but not a release-candidate update.

The behavior does not align with https://static.pangolin.net/get-newt.sh as the github API checked in newt install and the site API is different.
Newt install script: https://api.github.com/repos/fosrl/newt/releases/latest
Site API: https://api.github.com/repos/fosrl/newt/tags

Or it will be better to store the latest version elsewhere to avoid confusion.
