Update binary for Windows

[sergeevabc]

Dear Nic,
your article about RR links to version 1.0, whereas changelog indicates 1.5 is the current one.
Could you be so kind to update Windows binary for the rest of us who are mere users without a compiler?

Hi @sergeevabc! Yeah unfortunately Github deprecated the Downloads are so I can't update it anymore.

The latest binaries should always be in the bin/ folder: https://github.com/nicjansma/rename-regex/tree/master/bin

I've just updated it for 1.6: https://github.com/nicjansma/rename-regex/blob/master/bin/RR.exe

Hi @nicjansma! Your product is great! But please do not waste the sources Git system with binaries. Every binary version (and not properly working also!) is saved entirely and forever inside and takes its space in the repository. Every developer will load that with git.

Update your link to the latest binaries as https://github.com/nicjansma/rename-regex/releases/latest and upload your binaries there. Or configure an automation for build-and-deploy on https://www.appveyor.com/ as for Windows tools.

Also some firewalls block passing of exe through. For Windows it will be better to package into zip, imho.

I have done a sample release in my account to illustrate the GitHub current way to deploy binaries. The permanent link is as https://github.com/diev/rename-regex/releases/latest.

Another way to publish binaries could be performed by a customized web page (sources in /docs folder) for a repository as https://dievdo.ru/WhoCan/ looks for example. There is an automatic list of last Downloads thrown by the template https://github.com/diev/WhoCan/blob/master/docs/_includes/download.html.

@sergeevabc if you have c# sources for Windows, you have few compilers in your Windows also! :)

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\csc.exe
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc.exe

I think you can read the Russian language here - https://github.com/diev/Verba-OW-Automation.

Dear @diev, do you have a compiled binary of RR with the issues you solved? For unknown reason, @nicjansma hesitates to integrate your patches, or even to reply about a recursion bug. I rename folders quite often and a reliable Windows command line utility to do that is in high demand. By the way, have a look at Brename.
