Should Gatus user-agent use the current gatus version?

In https://github.com/TwiN/gatus/blob/master/core/endpoint.go#L35 there is this line:

	GatusUserAgent = "Gatus/1.0"

But the current Gatus version, as in the latest tag os of now, is 5.5.1.

So, should that change based on the latest tag/version?

As a suggestion, I can make a simple Bash script prepare-release.sh that:

• modifies the core/endpoint.go file with the new specified version
• commits it with a message of Release version x.y.z
• creates an annotated tag

After that you can review the change and git push (or have that in the script as well).

Later on this could be extended to have a section of a changelog in the tag as well :)

I don't think it's worth the effort.

Ultimately, Gatus' User-Agent header is only there to give a way for people to differentiate requests coming from Gatus.

It appears that it is the standard to use the version of the product: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User-Agent_header

Prometheus did it in a cool way:

But yeah, this is minor stuff.
