Supermium has 32-bit and 64-bit executables.[1] The versioning is based on Chromium's.

The developer is Shane Fournier.[1][6] His motivation is "lightweight, highly compatible win32 applications", and his username on GitHub is "win32ss".[8] He is also adding support to Windows 2000 and is planning to integrate Manifest 2 again.
