+## Releases
+
+Builds are distributed by the various toolchains that use Binaryen, like
+Emscripten, `wasm-pack`, etc. There are also official releases on GitHub:
+
+https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen/releases
+
+Currently builds of the following platforms are included:
+
+ * `Linux-x86_64`
+ * `Linux-arm64`
+ * `MacOS-x86_64`
+ * `MacOS-arm64`
+ * `Windows-x86_64`
+ * `Node.js` (experimental): A port of `wasm-opt` to JavaScript+WebAssembly.
+   Run `node wasm-opt.js` as a drop-in replacement for a native build of
+   `wasm-opt`, on any platform that Node.js runs on. Requires Node.js 18+ (for
+   Wasm EH and Wasm Threads). (Note that this build may also run in Deno, Bun,
+   or other JavaScript+WebAssembly environments, but is tested only on Node.js.)
