Release notes

Lots of love for Windows and macOS in this version.

This release fixes our primary instability on 0.8.7-beta, "Internet connection lost" appears immediately when starting installer on macOS or Windows

The installer will now warn Windows users when they don't have the Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 x86 Redistributable package installed. This package is required to run Heimdall. The error can be ignored if you're not installing on a Samsung device.

We're still looking for more information on how a successful Samsung installation should work on Windows. We've received messages about incorrect drivers or more steps required to run Heimdall, but not which drivers or which steps are required. We need more help here!

We have removed the warning for Windows users which asks them to install Clockworkmod's ADB drivers. While good-intentioned, the recommended drivers were just an older version of drivers included with Windows 10 already. To add insult to injury, it seems that more drivers than the ones recommended are required to actually complete an installation. We would like to learn more about which drivers are required and how we might install them automatically for the user. If you know the answer, please say so in #1922.
