New Software 0.9.0 File Size

Why is the new version 0.9.0 zipped file 64MB in size, while the 32-bit and 64-bit files are only 12MB in size? Isn't a zipped file supposed to be smaller in size than the normal (unzipped) file? What are we getting in the 64MB file, that we are not getting if we download the 12MB file?

look inside the .zip. there's 5x2 executables, plus the source.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

There is a some overhead of multiple executables because they are statically linked.
It'd be an option to use dynamic linking and ship a barrel of DLLs along with the executables, but having an independent .exe can be useful.

Agree, if there would be an independent .exe file it would be useful and more convenient

The exes are in the distribution are independent. If you download the zip you can place them anywhere.
