Releasing a version

1. Bump the version in the stremio.pro file
2. Create a git tag with the corresponding version

Arguments

--development: would make the shell load from http://127.0.0.1:11470 instead of https://app.strem.io and would force the shell to not try and start a streaming server

--staging: would load the web UI from https://staging.strem.io

--webui-url=: allows defining a different web UI URL

--streaming-server: when used with development, it would make the shell try to start a streaming server; this is the default behaviour in production

--autoupdater-force: would force the auto-updater to check for a new version

--autoupdater-force-full: would force the auto-updater to always perform a full update (rather than partial)

--autoupdater-endpoint=: would override the default checking endpoints for the autoupdater

To test the autoupdater, you can use a command like: ./stremio --autoupdater-force --autoupdater-endpoint="https://www.stremio.com/updater/check?force=true"; force=true passed to the update endpoint would cause it to always return the latest descriptor
