New release is needed
« on: July 17, 2019, 01:26:14 am »
Gus, It's been more than 5 years since OpenXcom was released.
I know that recently you guys prepare nightly builds, but maybe you may release more stable version from time to time.
SupSuper what do you think? Maybe you may mark nightly as github releases / tags?

I guess that can be arranged now that we have a new mod portal.

Howabout we stop calling the nightly versions unstable? These days the least stable nightlies are more stable than 1.0. Instability is uncommon and fixed quickly. I recommend just maintaining a list of stable snapshots--it's the whole list minus any that have been marked for instability. The old warning should be scrapped and replaced with one suggesting for ideal stability you should stick with a version that's at least few months old and update once every few months or more.
