New release?

[knedl1k]

The last stable release was in 2022. I think it's time to release a new version.

It was replied in #990.

A release candidate would be nice then, it'll help find and iron out the bugs

just use git actions, edit the file build_and_release.yaml , ask gpt to generate ur os version, try to use development development version

1. fork it 2 git clone development version 3 edit the yaml
   3.5 git commit and git push 4 use git action to build 5 download and install

There should be easier way to do so, but i just a newbie on programming , hope it can help u.

p.s i tried to install it locally , turn it too difficult to do so , but git action isn't u should try it For ur reference, here is my mac version of yaml

Below is the YAML configuration for your GitHub Actions workflow to build on macOS ARM architecture. This configuration only includes the job build-mac-arm as per your request. Save this as a .yml file within the .github/workflows directory of your repository to activate the workflow. Key Points: Trigger Events: The workflow is configured to run on push events to the main branch, on pull requests to any branch, and can also be manually triggered using the workflow_dispatch event. You can adjust these triggers according to your requirements. MacOS Version: This job runs on macos-14, targeting the macOS ARM architecture.

i find out that u can just download other action file actually , u don't even have to build it (unless you are using 13 os version like me) https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek/actions/runs/8681438556 download the bottom file

Seems like the windows build did not succeed. The zipped build should be far larger than 3mb.
