3. A new way to update iSG

Starting from version 20145, iSG will use a new update method. The system update is divided into three parts: iSG, Container, and Image. If there is any update in these three parts, an icon for downloading updates will appear in the upper right column of the homepage. Clicking the icon will directly lead to the update page.
