What changed, and why it matters
This commit only updates the README file to point users to the new 0.8.7 software release instead of the older 0.8.6 release. It changes download links, file names, and verification commands. There are no code changes and no security issue visible in this commit.
No security action needed. Treat as a routine documentation update.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff is a documentation-only change in README.md, replacing all references to version 0.8.6 with 0.8.7, including GitHub release download URLs, image file names, SHA256 manifest file names, signature file names, and example GPG/shasum/CertUtil commands. No source code, build scripts, cryptographic material, or executable logic was modified.

Note: If you have physically removed the WiFi component from your board, you will still use the image file of the original (un-modified) hardware. (Our files are compiled/based on the *processor* architecture). Although it is better to spend a few minutes upfront to determine which specific Pi hardware/model you have, if you are still unsure which hardware you have, you can try using the pi0.img file. Making an incorrect choice here will not ruin your board, because this is software, not firmware.

Users familiar with older versions of the SeedSigner software might be surprised with how fast their software downloads now are, because since version 0.6.0 the software image files are now 100x smaller! Each image file is now under 42 Megabytes so your downloads and verifications will be very quick now (and might even seem *too* quick)!
