Releases instead of nightly builds? #143

I think it would help the average OZW-interested person if we could have some sort of releases. I believe that the :latest docker image is automatically compiled and so it can happen that it contains half finished work. If the average person downloads that version he might find it broken and concludes that OZW is by far not finished (which is not true) and runs away. Having a kind of stable beta releases and dev builds alongside will build a user base. Build 150 for instance seems to be fairly stable for instance. Is this something the devs want to consider?

2nd. Honestly, I didn't even consider this when pulling "latest" for my new image. I kinda assumed (my bad) that what was going on based on other projects I'm using.

Aren't releases already happening? For instance, when I go to the tags page on Docker Hub, I see several version-esque numbers (with 170, published 4 days ago, being the latest). Or am I misunderstanding the issue?

Not sure, I am also only guessing :) but my assumption is based on this dashboard. It shows a long list of automated and manual, successful and failed builds. I am assuming that a docker image is uploaded automatically when a build is successful.
