 ## Packages
 
 Besides building yourself on the platform of your choice there are also several ways to obtain pre-built packages.<br/>
-*Note:* The non-Windows packages are not maintained by the Cppcheck team but by the respective packagers instead.
 
+Official packages maintained by the Cppcheck team:
 - (Windows) An official Windows installer is available via the official Cppcheck SourceForge page: https://cppcheck.sourceforge.io/.
+- (Windows) Official builds of the current development versions are available via the [release-windows](https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/actions/workflows/release-windows.yml) workflow. They are built nightly for the `main` branch and for each commit for release branches. As these are development versions please refrain from using these in production environments!
+  - A portable package (i.e. does not require installation) is available as the `portable` artifact. This is still a work-in-progress - see https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/10771 for details.
+  - An installer is available via the `installer` artifact.
+- (Multi-Platform) A premium version with additional features provided by the original author of Cppcheck is available for purchase via https://www.cppcheck.com/.
+
+Unofficial packages *not* maintained by the Cppcheck team but their respective packagers:
+- (Windows) An portable package is available via https://portableapps.com/apps/development/cppcheck-portable.
+- (Windows / Outdated) A package is available via https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/cppcheck.
+- (Windows / Outdated) A package is available via https://winget.run/pkg/Cppcheck/Cppcheck.
+- (Windows / Outdated) A package is available via https://osdn.net/projects/sfnet_cppcheck/.
 - (Linux/Unix) Many major distros offer Cppcheck packages via their integrated package managers (`yum`, `apt`, `pacman`, etc.). See https://pkgs.org/search/?q=cppcheck for an overview.
-- (Linux/Unix) Unless you are using a "rolling" distro, it is likely that they are not carrying the latest version. There are several external (mainly unsupported) repositories like AUR (ArchLinux), PPA (ubuntu), EPEL (CentOS/Fedora) etc. which provide up-to-date packages. 
-- (Linux/Unix) The Canonical Snapcraft package is unmaintained and contains a very old version. Please refrain from using it! See https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/11641 for more details.
