+       Windows DLLs for most PECL extensions are back! We have been working on 
an
+       alternative way through GitHub Actions to automate the builds of these
+       extensions, which means PECL DLLs are now available on the respective
+       package's download page again.
+       </p>
+       <p>
+       The next step is automating these builds so that extension authors can
+       include steps in their release actions as well
