non-versioned continuous release #58

Please at least remove the commit / version info from the assets so the links are stable and do not break with every new release.

Nobody has ever tried to make guarantees about the "stability" of links. You should never just rely on something like "URL on GitHub releases". You can fetch the link from GitHub's API with relative ease.

Why not? linuxdeploy and appimagetool both have links that don't encode the version / commit info in the name. This would not be an issue with "proper" versioned release, but with the insistence on people using a continuous always changing version, the least you could do is make it easier to link to such a version without having to update said link every time a new release is done.
