Valence 1.7.2 - A much smaller installer

A much smaller download, and a shortcut icon that stays put.

What’s new

• The installer is dramatically smaller. Slim drops from 310 MB to 122 MB, and the all-in-one from 808 MB to 620 MB. A packaging mistake meant every installer we have shipped carried a second, redundant copy of the whole application inside it — used for nothing but the shortcut picture. It is gone.
• It also stops eating your disk. That redundant copy was written into a hidden Windows folder on every install and never cleaned up — roughly 180 MB per install, left behind for good. New installs write a 228 KB icon instead, and upgrading reclaims the copy your current version left behind.
• The shortcut keeps its icon. The Valence icon on your Start Menu and desktop shortcuts could go blank after installing an update. It now uses a proper multi-resolution icon file, so it stays sharp everywhere it appears.
