Describe the bug
The readme.md file for both the x86 and x64 Windows versions of the latest release states that the release ZIP file contains:
The package contents
lz4.exe: Command Line Utility, supporting gzip-like argumentsdll\msys-lz4-1.dll: The DLL of LZ4 library, compiled by msysdll\liblz4.dll.a: The import library of LZ4 library for Visual C++example\: The example of usage of LZ4 libraryinclude\: Header files required with LZ4 librarystatic\liblz4_static.lib: The static LZ4 library
But in both zip files, the DLL file is not present.
Expected behavior It is expected that a release of a library will in fact contain the library in question, particularly when the readme file says it's there.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Download the latest Windows release
- Open the ZIP file
- Look in the
dll\folder - Observe that the DLL is not present
