From 4b1975088eb77d9e5861418c0b11b2c97d24933b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "W. Trevor King" Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2014 15:27:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] README.md: Update usage for folks running the compiled installer With the Inno installer, there's no need to download Python or msysGit ahead of time. Also, folks who aren't building their own installer can use the latest compiled release. I'm not sure how the compilation process works, so I'll leave that for Ethan to fill in. Once we're actually tagging releases here, we'll probably be linking to GitHub's releases [1] instead of files.sw-c.org, but we haven't tagged a release yet.
