Not meaning to say a lot right now, but something has to be done with this.
Since last year the automatic building was disabled. While I was not sure if I ever make any release again, this did not bother me much, but now I did that again, and it began to.
Making a release all by hand currently takes about 2-3 hours of my time, and even more before that to prepare and check everything:
- templates (if they changed)
- build for Windows, build for Linux, build for Android.
- package everything, and upload.
- make a post, edit download links.
- tag a release on github.
The process is extremely tedious and prone to mistakes. What is worse, if there is a critical bug in release, I will have to redo everything again soon.
This is also why I do not like to make new releases often.
Few years ago I had plans to learn making and using automatic building, but then Nick Sonneveld appeared and made one, so I forgot about that and focused on other tasks. That was a mistake of course.
That would be so good to have one for AGS, even if it does not run all the time (i.e. with nightly builds), but only started to make a new release.
