Provided ctags executable

In the zip is a precompiled version of ctags.exe. This is always a recent version of the Windows executables provided by the Universal Ctags project when the plugin was released.

You can always try to replace the provided version of ctags.exe with a more recent version.

Note that is you are upgrading from an older build of ctags you may have to put your local ctags.cnf or .ctags file to a file in the .ctags.d directory. See the Files section in the documentation of ctags for more details.
