Description

The last and only release tag for Detours was created in 2016 - 9 years ago - and hasn't been updated since. This is the REF tag that vcpkg uses for Detours. On top of many changes & improvements being made since then, I can't even get arm64 to work locally using the 4.0.1 release. Is it safe to say that this release should be left behind in the dust and that package managers such as vcpkg should be updated to use a commit off main?
