build - kdiff3 downloadable "kdiff3-1.8.5-windows-64-cl.exe" - what is the "-cl"?

Question

I was looking to download kdiff for windows from https://download.kde.org/stable/kdiff3/

and I noticed the latest package is kdiff3-1.8.5-windows-64-cl.exe

while the next-latest is kdiff3-1.8.4-windows-64.exe

Does the -cl signify anything like a library I need or stability or ???

There is 0 documentation that I can find on how to download and install anything later than 0.9.98. Couldn't find any clue on the project site https://invent.kde.org/sdk/kdiff3

about the -cl and I couldnt figure out how to ask there ...

Loading up a new computer and reluctant to add something that seems a little like it might have special requirements or caveats.

thanks!

Answer 1

I can't say what the -cl stands for, but it has been a suffix before, for example for version 1.8.2. I'm currently running 1.8.5 (from that location, the one with the -cl suffix) and it works fine.
