Release 24.08.03

Code signing is happening at every level of winutil. You can now execute the ps1 with just Remote Signing which will help with false flags from Microsoft Defender.

Check the winutil.ps1 file with Get-AuthenticodeSignature -FilePath .\winutil.ps1 using PowerShell to see the signature.

Release 24.06.11

This release is an auto generated release.

From now on any pull request on the main branch generates a release like this, which ensures you can rewind in time to ANY version of winutil. Also this makes it easy to launch winutil from github.com instead of using raw GitHub which is blocked in some countries. Big shoutout to KonTy for the auto release idea!

• fix typo by @nikolan123 in #2041
