A Few Readme Changes #8

@nibanks I added the note about the Releases section to the readme only after multiple people were confused about where to download binaries. Let's keep it for now?

You don't think people will understand now that source is checked in, and releases have the binaries?

maolson-msft commented 2 years ago

I don't think the source of the confusion is changed by the fact that there's a build Action. The issue is basically that it's hard to find the Releases section on github. And this time it isn't just me: multiple people have come to me like "hi I saw the github repo, but where can I get a binary?"

In fact I think there's actually MORE chance for confusion now, because there are now Action artifacts with unsigned binaries that people might try using instead of the latest signed release.

Ok. Brought it back. I disagree, as this is the standard way all GitHub repo's operation, but so be it. I guess there are a lot of folks not familiar with GitHub.

Yeah I agree it's annoying. I feel like I may have received these questions because this particular repo may be used by a higher percentage of non-github-proficient people. Anyway thanks for putting it back.
