HeicViewerPlus v1.0.0 — Initial Release

A fast, modern desktop image viewer for Windows and Linux. Designed to fill the gap in native Windows support, it opens HEIC, AVIF, and WebP files instantly without requiring paid extensions or codecs.

Non-destructive workflow: Crop / rotate / flip are view transforms until you explicitly Save As (original file is never modified).
