+
+### Packaging Commands  
+
+#### 32-bit Version

+
+## Maintenance  
+
+Since I rarely use Gitee and find it cumbersome to operate, the Gitee mirror will no longer be synced. If anyone knows how to set up a mirror, please help. Contact me via QQ: 3872006562 or DM me on Bilibili. I will acknowledge your help in the README. Thank you!  
+
+Due to a conflict with Daye, Windowscleaner will never be listed. I will strive on my own.  
+
+Note: Due to GitHub file upload restrictions, rename `img/png/NET.png` to `.NET.png`; otherwise, the program may encounter unexpected issues.  
+
+Anyone can add their own legal software via PR.
