2. Follow the links to binary factory.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
binary-factory was replaced by CI job artifacts on invent.kde.org. Some are listed at https://invent.kde.org/groups/teams/ci-artifacts/-/packages/ , e.g. "lokalize release-23.08-1707523872 ยท Generic   Manually Published   Published to Windows Qt5.15, 2 weeks ago".  I think they show up in the windows-qt5.15 repository under [sidebar] > Deploy > Package registry, https://invent.kde.org/teams/ci-artifacts/windows-qt5.15/-/packages ; this will change with Qt 6, so maybe there's a cleaner way to refer to Windows binaries.

Ah you already did that, no the correct way to refer to the windows binaries is publish them in the mircosoft store (or put them in the download server), anything else (this or the old link to binary factory) is just not a real release.

Anyhow closing this since you already did what can be done (maybe edit the link to include the search in it and not needing to tell people to search)

Right, experts told me "These are CI artifacts only and are not packaged for use outside the CI system". Apparently the "craft" recipes build Windows executables but I'm not sure if they end up anywhere.
