The frontpage describes what it actually supports:

Interestingly they do not provide a windows version of the server, citing it being slower than the nix one, which entirely ignores that quite a few people develop on windows and deploy to nix.

Edit: Oh wow.

To be fair in enterprise software we end up with escrow agreements all the time. It’s not that crazy. Can’t speak to the author of the project, just this one little snippet.

Oh wow, since 2009, I tried it at work for a minute, it was indeed very fast. That's all I can say. He should have let the old version online just for the sake of trying.
