📄 Description

The current windows release is built only for x64 (the architecture the build machine is using). Nobody's complained yet, but if someone comes along with an Arm CPU it wont work.

With this change we're publishing NSIS and APPX (windows store) installers for Windows, in the following architectures

  • x64
  • ia32
  • arm64

The NSIS files:

These files should be kept - they allow users to install without going to the Microsoft Appstore.

The AppX files:

The AppX files are used for the Microsoft Appstore. We've chosen the AppX over the .exe because the AppX installers are recommended, and allow us to host the files on the Windows hosting service.

NOTE: There's a lot of images in here but I think it's necessary. It's to cover all of Windows's scenarios - taskbar icons, start menu, different screen sizes, light/dark mode etc. We're forced to use at minimum 4/5 icons, but it looks terrible.

**In the future: ** we will automate the release using GitHub actions. For now it's manual because there are tweaks being made to the store listing and every change takes 3(ish) days for Microsoft to approve.
