There isn't any now as the version shipping with KDE Applications is the one
that packagers should use. But in case KStars is dropped from KDE Applications,
I'll be making tarballs available for packagers.

But where's the source download for the standalone releases?

KStars have more frequent releases than either kdeedu or kde-applications, it's
almost a minor release every couple of weeks. 2.8.7 is planned for release in a
few days. It is certainly not synced with KDE Applications release schedule so
you can go ahead and drop KStars if it causes a problem. Distributions should
then able to pick which version to package.

The 2.8.x versions are released directly from master branch, so are probably
unstable releases, while 2.7.x versions are released from the stable branches.

While this practice (even vs. odd version numbers) may be common for other open
source projects, this is unexpected for KDE releases, and confuses users.

Jasem, if my investigations are correct, could you please add a comment to
2.8.x releases that they are unstable and/or used for testing/stabilization
only?

If not, could you please discuss reasons for the separate releases on the
kde-edu and/or release-team mailing list? It would be a major loss if we
couldn't have KStars part of the KDE Applications package, so I am sure we find
a solution without taking this step as a last resort.

So we are shipping the latest version.

KStars making two separate series of releases is very confusing.  It may not be
suitable for KDE Applications.

Jasem, which 2.x version is packaged in 17.08 branch? Or put differently, which
branch does the 2.8.5 version come from?

Yeah I did just that after I noticed it :) But most people would probably not
know about searching for PPAs and would get an old version.
