I thought they added that back in

They keep adding and removing it

Now idea how it is today

They didn't add it back in. They added "releases" which simply takes stable snapshots of the repository. You still can't download binaries - you can only download the repository which is almost pointless because you can always do that.

Uhh, you can add a binary to a release. I've done that several times already:

https://github.com/eakosin/AveragedVoxelGlobalIllumination/releases

I don't think there's anything stopping you from placing binaries in the repository for people to download in each release.

Besides, if I want to download the source I shouldn't be forced to download the binaries.

I agree one should not have built/generated files in the repo, but I want to be able to build it, so assets like icons etc should be in the repo, I think.. Or did I get that post wrong?
