v0.23.0

[Timthreetwelve]

Future releases

At this time, I’m planning for this to be the last release of GetMyIP that includes x86 (32-bit) builds. Future releases will focus on x64 (64-bit), since a majority of users are already using x64 builds and maintaining both architectures adds extra work. Installer and portable options will still be available, along with both framework-dependent and self-contained builds. If you rely on x86 support, please feel free to share your thoughts in the discussion linked to this release.

AI Usage: 🤖

I have allowed GitHub Copilot to assist me in writing commit messages and for code review. If you noticed more detailed commit messages than usual, that is likely due to Copilot's assistance. Additionally, Copilot was also used for translation assistance. It's surprisingly bad at this task.

In each case I have reviewed what was generated by Copilot and made changes where necessary.
