No, I didn’t. Thx for the link.

However, if you probably aware, on Windows there is a difference between
Debug and Release builds.

If one links Release library with Debug binary it will run incorrectly if
run at all.

So since I’m right now am building Debug version of my software I need to
build Debug version alone with Release one.

I presume that the download link will give me Release build only?

Thank you.
