+For any other variants of platform and architecture, check the full list of release packages at the bottom of this release page.

Remember that these are built by volunteers and may not always be available. If you rely on a platform or configuration that is not one of the defaults, we suggest you use the binaries that your platform provides, or build your own release packages.
