You can drag and drop binaries / zips / msi's etc as downloadable files that will be part of the release.\r\n\r\nThe advantage is then you're hosting a file download from github which is a well known site, and it's easy to find the releases of the project on the [releases page](https://github.com/SilentSys/SLAM/releases).\r\n\r\nIf you don't care for this method, then feel free to close this issue and move on :) Thanks for the software!"}}
