v0.8.0

[Timthreetwelve]

Future releases

At this time, I’m planning for this to be the last release of Windows Update Viewer that includes x86 (32-bit) builds. Future releases will focus on x64 (64-bit), since most users are already using x64 and maintaining both architectures adds extra work. Installer and portable options will still be available, along with both framework-dependent and self-contained builds. If you rely on x86 support, please feel free to share your thoughts in the discussion linked to this release.
