winget manifest description says '50+ platforms' instead of 1,800+ #203

Description

@tonhowtf

The winget package tonhowtf.OmniGet exists in microsoft/winget-pkgs, but the newest manifest there is 0.7.0. The app is now on 0.7.7, so winget install -e --id tonhowtf.OmniGet currently installs a build seven releases old.

This matters more than it did last week: the v0.7.7 README now advertises the winget line as an install option, so people will actually use it.

Two things to fix.

  1. Publish 0.7.7. A manifest PR to microsoft/winget-pkgs. Worth automating from the release workflow — wingetcreate update in a job after the release publishes would keep it from drifting again.
  2. The description is wrong. The manifest says "50+ platforms", which contradicts the 1,800+ the app and README claim. Same PR can fix it.

Out of scope for this repository — it is a PR against microsoft/winget-pkgs — but tracking it here so it does not get lost.
