The release workflow measured the figure the README had been deferring to it, and it does not say what both pages assumed.

Stripped: 8 587 400 B on macOS x86_64, 7 843 528 on arm64, 11 424 312 on Linux x86_64 — 10.90 MiB, over the line the v0.1.0 notes drew in their own first sentence, with the size table immediately below it saying otherwise.

eframe links against X11, Wayland and GTK on Linux and against system frameworks on macOS, which is most of the difference.

The published v0.1.0 notes are being corrected to match.

The README now carries the Linux number and where it came from, and the notes
lead with both platforms instead of with a round one that only held for macOS.
