News, changes and fixes

Attention:

- This driver requires Windows 10 (1709) or higher

- This driver does not support 32 bit Windows OS anymore (32 bit apps can still be used with an x64 system)

- This driver also supports Windows 11 Arm systems. Both WDM and ASIO are available. ASIO is included as 32 bit and 64 bit, both Arm64EC and Arm native.

- The installer is completely reworked and now copies current files to C:\Program Files\RME\MADI_FX

- Changing between the former and this driver on Intel systems, back and forth, should be easy and without issues 

- In most cases, a restart is no longer necessary after both initial installation and update. TotalMix FX and Settings dialog are immediately available in the notification area and are also updated.

- To completely uninstall the driver start rmeinstaller.exe and choose Uninstall. Note: Uninstall via Windows Apps (Add & Remove) is no longer supported.
