The AppImage stops naming a version it cannot keep

archamp-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage with 1.0.2 inside it — because updating is
replacing that one file in place, and the name it was first downloaded under
is the name it keeps. The file is archamp-x86_64.AppImage now.

Keeping the version in the name would have meant renaming the file on every
update, and that name is the path the desktop entry, the launcher, any dock
pin and the restart itself all point at. Moving all of that on every update to
keep a label honest is a lot of moving parts for a label. A stable name costs
nothing: the release asset is matched on .AppImage, and ARCHAMP → About is
what knows which version you are running.

If you already have a versioned copy, rename it to
archamp-x86_64.AppImage. archamp rewrites its desktop entry from the new
path the next time it starts, so the launcher follows on its own.

Everything else

Unchanged from 1.0.2 — see its notes
and 1.0.1's for
the restart, and
1.0.0's for what
archamp is and how it and
OMedia Controls were
built to go together.
