10.30 update is now available

Hello everyone!

Update: There's now hotfix 10.31 available which fixes crash on startup that can occur in some cases.

This is the update with some back ported features from P11 I mentioned in the last P11 development report. I originally intended to include more but it would sadly require breaking changes to the SDK.

Important:

This update makes Playnite no longer work on Windows 7 and  Windows 8. Do not update if you want to keep using Playnite on those  Windows versions!

This is because updated web view component no longer supports these systems but also includes important security fixes so it was no longer good idea to stay on old version just to support these Windows versions.

As always thank you very much for continued support!
