Windows binaries

KDE Continuous Integration produces Windows binaries of several KDE app as "build artifacts"; these are collected in the Windows Qt 5.15 project, under [sidebar] > Deploy > Package registry, at https://invent.kde.org/teams/ci-artifacts/windows-qt5.15/-/packages . There are both "release" builds, and "main" or "master" builds that are built from latest code and are less stable. Note these are not packaged for use outside the CI system.
