Thorium WinUpdater for Windows has been revived

[mews-se]

Hi @Alex313031 and @gz83 👋

Just a heads-up that Thorium WinUpdater — ltGuillaume's automatic updater for Thorium on Windows, archived in 2024 — has been revived and is maintained again:

https://github.com/mews-se/thorium-winupdater

What's new in 1.9.0:

• Updates are fetched from gz83/thorium, where the Windows builds are currently published. The source repo is configurable via an ini setting, so the updater can follow the builds wherever they end up — including a move back to the Alex313031 repos — without needing a new updater release.
• Fixed release parsing (GitHub's pretty-printed API responses broke the old asset matching).
• Verified against the current M151 packages: asset naming and thor_ver build detection work for both installed and portable instances (AVX2/AVX).
• Releases are now built automatically by GitHub Actions.

Feel free to link it wherever it's useful — and thanks for keeping Thorium alive!

Thanks for your efforts, but a similar tool already exists:

Great! Then I will not interfere with that :)
