release is overdue #3079

Open gdt opened 3 weeks ago

The latest release is 23.11, and that's more than 6 months ago. rtl_433 moves quickly, and we frequently get reports about the latest release not working somehow. While technically that's fair, in the land of rtl_433 one has to run git master. Thus, the latest release should always be reasonably fresh Arguably it should be once a month, but more than 6 is too much.

Many packaging systems have doctrine that they only package releases. This makes a lot of sense, but does not play well with upstreams that don't have releases that they recommend users use.
