I think we should keep the official releases on SourceForge.net, and only add 
links to GitHub. One reason being there's no download statistics on GitHub.

Other projects like Wesnoth also does the same -- only mention the release on 
GitHub and publish it on SourceForge.net:
https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/releases

There are advantages to having the development release update every time we 
have a commit. Primarily, that we do not need to do anything to have an updated 
development build.

If we were to, say, have the release update once every day -- then we should 
also have a method for updating the build manually so that testers can quickly 
verify whether an issue has been fixed or not.

We have been using the nightly releases as a substitute for proper releases, 
but we should rather publish point (bug fix) releases more often on SF.net. 
There was a need for a changelog on the nightly releases as they were made 
rather irregularly. I don't think the development release needs a changelog now 
... other than to indicate what the latest included commit is.


Best wishes,
