Describe the bug
The recent What's New in vcpkg February 2025 announcement mentions that x64-windows-release is now a supported triplet; however,

  1. The announcement neglects to mention what this triplet is intended for, i.e. how are x64-windows-release builds different from the release builds provided in the x64-windows triplet.
  2. The vcpkg release notes also make no mention of what the newly-supported triplet x64-windows-release is for.
  3. There is a corresponding x64-windows-static-release triplet, but no mention was made whether or when this community triplet -- or potential x86 variants of it -- will ever be supported.
  4. The vcpkg reference page Windows with MSVC still lists the x64-windows-release triplet as a community triplet, rather than a supported one.

Environment

  • OS: Windows x64
  • Compiler: Visual Studio 2022 Build 17.10

To Reproduce
See links, above.

Expected behavior
Provide context in release announcements and release notes regarding newly supported triplets, so readers can understand the impact of recent changes.
