Description
Filename in the 64-bit zipfile is now scummvm-2.8.1.exe instead of scummvm.exe. The 32-bit zipfile and Windows 95+ zipfile are named correctly without the version appended.

That's how I noticed it: it broke my scoop update script. It's most likely just an oversight, as none of the other versions (zip or installer) have the version number in the filename.

Must be fixed before release.

Thank you - this was an oversight while packing the last release, I'll do it the right way this time.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.

This indeed breaks shortcuts and scripts and expects the user to endlessly update them in hopes new versions will keep rolling :-).
Luckily at least as a temporary solution manually renaming to scummvm.exe seems to work. I just hope it doesn't break anything.
