Which is the last compatible version with Windows 7 ?

I read on the website that Thorium requires now Windows 10. What about Windows 7, which version should I pick?
I couldn’t find it in the change log, as well as any information about Electron.

Some information here: https://www.electronjs.org/blog/windows-7-to-8-1-deprecation-notice

That link is about Electron and I don’t even know what that is.
My question is again about Thorium: Which version should I use that is the last compatible version with Windows 7?

Sorry for not being clear :)
Thorium is an Electron application, therefore the minimum Operating System requirements are dictated by the Electron software project. Thorium is at Electron version 30+ already, way past the cut-off date for Windows 7 support (as documented in their blog post)

That I have already read. But older versions are available on Github and obviously I’m not looking for the latest version published, but the latest version compatible, be it 1.2.3 or 2.3.4.

"Electron 22 will be the last Electron major version to support Windows versions older than 10. Windows 7/8/8.1 will not be supported in Electron 23 and later major releases."

Thorium 2.2.0 = Electron 21.3.1
https://github.com/edrlab/thorium-reader/blob/v2.2.0/package.json#L354

...next Thorium version in the release history:

Thorium 2.3.0 = Electron 25.4.0
https://github.com/edrlab/thorium-reader/blob/v2.3.0/package.json#L358

So, it looks like Thorium 2.2.0 is the last official version that supported Windows 7
