WARNING: This version will only work for the next LibreWolf release (the one AFTER v111.0.1-1), because it will introduce a new filenames scheme due to the addition of a 32-bit build

• Rewrite for 32-bit and 64-bit versions and include self-updating
  • LibreWolf will be released for 32-bit Windows, too, which changes the asset filenames used.
  • It also means that a 32-bit version of the updater needs to be produced.
  • This is also a more "modular" rewrite of the script and includes self-updating via Codeberg.
• Real errors will now also be shown when the updater is run via a scheduled task

• Allow download URL detection for new /package_files/ URLs.

• Add GUI for better feedback during portable/manual updates
• Improved procedure to check if WinUpdater is already running
• Add blue 128x128 icon for GUI
• Trim double quotes from retrieved LibreWolf path (precaution)

• Properly extract ProductVersion string from LW executable, instead of using the FileVersion command
• Pass on command line arguments to portable launcher after updating (requires LibreWolf-Portable v1.3.10)
• Allow single quotes ' in pathnames

• Fix version number extraction (the release title may change, now using tag_name)
• Check if LibreWolf WinUpdater (exact path) is already running

• Use new Gitlab API to get latest release (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitab/-/issues/358188)

• Only delay updating if the librewolf.exe to be updated is still running (not any librewolf.exe)

• Allow running the scheduled task scripts from an elevated program
• Set most recent notification as tray tooltip
• Updating portable instance: only overwrite changed files (compare size and checksum first)
• Internally calculate file hashes (don't use PowerShell)
• Use AutoHotkey's new FileCopyDir support for ZIP extraction (only use PowerShell as fallback)
• Handle error when opening project pages via tray icon (no default browser found)
• Better handling of moving files into portable folder
• Directly download release info & checksum into variable
• Reduce length of _NewVersionFound to avoid cut-off in notification popup
• Refactor notifications
• Improved strings and instructions in README
• Use A_Temp variable instead of EnvGet

The releases file now includes the extended release description (at the beginning of the file). This causes the need for the updater to now load the entire json in order to be sure it will find the URLs to the download and the checksum.

• Fixed Could not find the URL to the checksum file. since the latest releases file of LibreWolf (#6)

Inadvertent double slashes in the LibreWolf releases file (gitlab.com//librewolf-community) caused the error Could not find the checksum for the downloaded file. This release works around the issue.

• Allow double slashes in LibreWolf's releases file, use less specific RegEx
• Show new version in notification when LibreWolf is running
• Fixed: errors were not written to the ini-file

• Fixed: Save version as formatted in release file to ini-file for extra version comparison
  Comparing only the exe-file version sometimes caused "endless updating" due to inconsistent versioning of LibreWolf (#2)
