Fixes
Deprecation Notice System.Drawing.Bitmap is no longer available on non-Windows platforms when targeting .NET 7.0 and later.
The Analyze method that accepts a Bitmap object has been deprecated.
If your application targets only Windows, you can continue to use this overload. Otherwise, it is recommended you use the newly added Analyze(Stream) method instead.
