End Of Life WinForms builds

Revit Lookup (formerly known as RvtMgdDbg) was developed by Jim Awe in 2005.
However, due to advances in technology and new features and functionality, it was decided to discontinue support for the RevitLookup version based on the current engine using WinForms.
This means that there will be no more updates and bug fixes and no more user support for the classic version. Users who are still using the classic version of RevitLookup may consider upgrading to a newer, supported version of the software

Build includes versions 2015-2023

In this release, the entire code base has been completely rewritten from scratch with a redesigned user interface. New tools, OTA update, Windows 11 support

Revit 2023 support

Minor UI changes https://github.com/jeremytammik/RevitLookup/pull/135

Minimize, maximize support https://github.com/jeremytammik/RevitLookup/pull/134. Fixed problem with sending a print job https://github.com/jeremytammik/RevitLookup/pull/133

BindingMap support. https://github.com/jeremytammik/RevitLookup/issues/128 issue.

This update fixes the display of labels:

• Support for string empty label.
• Support for string null label.
• Support for double? null label.
• Renamed "View = null" to "Undefined View". This was a misnomer because null throws an exception
• Renamed "View = null - Including geometry objects not set as Visible" to "Undefined View, including non-visible objects"
• Renamed "View = Document.ActiveView" to "Active View"
• Renamed "View = Document.ActiveView - Including geometry objects not set as Visible" to "Active View, including non-visible objects"

Fixed https://github.com/jeremytammik/RevitLookup/issues/117 issue. Reflection TargetException message replaced by InnerException message, now the description of the exception will be detailed.

This is patch release to fix a few items. This release will fix the issues below:

• Removed unused code and resources, reduced application size
• Optimized collections and arrays, updating the window just got a little faster
• Fixed broken print and preview button
• Reduced memory allocation

Update Readme.md: added mention of RFA and RVT project files.
