Linux support to end after v1.7

To be clear, Linux will be supported through the end of the 1.7.x releases and will no longer be supported started with v1.8.0.

v1.7.0 is slated to be released at the end of August. But we usually have a few bugfix releases, such as 1.7.1, 1.7.2, 1.7.3, and so on. ALL of those will also support Linux. Note, those are truly bugfix releases only and will not include any new features.

Whatever version of 1.7.x we release prior to v1.8 coming out will be the last LightBurn release to come with a Linux build.

v1.8.0 release date is unknown but likely to be late 2024 or early 2025 at this point.
