Head over to the latest releases page!

Important Note 1: We currently have builds for Windows and macOS, and Linux. I test releases on Arch Linux and to a lesser degree Windows. I would love help testing in additional places.

Important Note 2: Neither the MacOS nor the Windows binaries are signed right now. I am willing to add this but I do not have the certificates required at this time.
