Breaking changes

Note that since Squirrel.Windows uses SemVer we have updated the major version number - however, these changes should be fairly easy to manage and shouldn't require any large changes in your app.

Splat is now internalized

The logging framework that Squirrel.Windows uses (Splat) is now shipped as part of Squirrel.Windows itself. This means, that if you have set up custom setup logging or were using Splat in your application as well, you will need to set it up separately.

To make this a bit less complicated for applications that are also using Splat directly, Splat's Locator global which is used to configure logging is now named SquirrelLocator in the internal Squirrel.Windows version.

Note that this does not affect Electron or other non-C# applications that are using the out-of-process API (i.e. running Update.exe directly)
