Hi Robert,

Welcome again to the Subsurface developer team :-)

You can look at the SHA of the commit in the filename and that tells you what
is included and what isn't. And sadly - that's the commit RIGHT BEFORE yours.

Oops.

It's really, really, really as simple as dropping me a note saying
"Hey, Dirk, please build a new test version for Windows"
and usually within 24 hours you'll get one (assuming I'm not on
a plane flying to a place with no internet connection - that happens,
but not all that often (sadly - "bad internet connection" is almost always
a sign of "I'm diving on a small island" :-) )

While writing this response, I actually did just that and new Windows
binaries are now available...
