New in Fido 1.53 (Nov 26, 2023)

- Also fix the Windows 11 23H2 build number, since Microsoft are utterly incapable of properly populating it, when they create the install.wim's XML index on their retail ISOs...
New in Fido 1.52 (Oct 31, 2023)
- Replace Windows 11 22H2 downloads with 23H2.
- Note that Microsoft has no plans to ever release a Windows 10 23H2, so the last Windows 10 release is still 22H2.

New in Fido 1.47 (May 23, 2023)
- This release removes Windows ISOs that Microsoft is no longer allowing users to download.

New in Fido 1.38 (Jan 6, 2023)
- Improve error reporting (now Fido tries to report the actual message it got from the Microsoft servers).
- Note that this does nothing to fix issue #52, it just makes the new behaviour of Microsoft's servers more explicit.
New in Fido 1.37 (Dec 15, 2022)

New in Fido 1.36 (Oct 19, 2022)

- Restore Windows 8 → Windows 11 ISO downloads.
New in Fido 1.30 (Aug 13, 2022)
- Disable Windows 8 → Windows 11 ISO downloads
- It appears that Microsoft purposefully made their download servers hostile to our script, and trying to fix this is likely to take a long time...
