#1237·cpprestsdk

Where are the official download point(s) for the Windows version?

The README for the repo seems to say the correct library package to use for Windows developers who want to consume C++ REST SDK is the source package from VCPkg:

https://github.com/microsoft/cpprestsdk/blob/ce96a318b14273edba8a122431e588b8733eb9dd/README.md#L16-L20

But I also see C++ REST SDK binaries for Windows hosted on NuGet, and the wiki for the repo specifically calls out How to use the C Rest SDK NuGet package.

So, question: which of these are the "official" release points, if any? And if only the source package on VCPkg is official, do I have to create my own NuGet package (such as with vcpkg export --nuget) to get a binary package?
