See the upstream issue.

The app needs to build native modules on Ubuntu 16.04 so it's compatible with the ancient version of glibc, see #389.

So there will be a need to switch to docker-based "ubuntu 16.04" image for assembling the linux packages.

So Linux installation packages attached to the "./releases" page won't be compatible anymore with the systems that use old "glibc" version. Building own installation package from sources is a solution for users of such ancient systems. See #389 and #281 for details.
