Hi, Several MSVC*.exe files are listed on "Unix" platform. Are those precompiled binaries? And why as executables (instead of archives)? Looking at the 1.89.0 release their section is called "Windows (Binary)" Maybe a one-line description would be good? Especially as "Source Code" is listed left with a link to Github while source code is provided in the other archives. At least from the users perspective those are archives of files the user needs to compile which I would count as "source code". Alex Am 10.12.25 um 22:52 schrieb Marshall Clow via Boost:

I remember reporting this on the list Nov 13th as soon as the beta 1 was public. Though, when I did a quick check after 1.90.0 release I thought it looked correct. Perhaps I looked too quickly, spending more time on the release notes - because sadly there appears to be no way to inspect the (draft) release notes prior to the final release.
