Linenoise: new tarball release?

Created on 29 Jun 2017 · 4Comments · Source: antirez/linenoise

After c894b9e5, could you make a new release tarball? We currently provide the tarball of linenoise via Guix and I would like to avoid adding git to the dependencies to build it.
The update seems important enough to update our package.
As every application currently bundles linenoise, we just unbundle their linenoise and copy our linenoise back in.

Are you referring to the tarball here? If so, that's nothing special - GitHub automatically generates it, and you can obtain tarballs for other commits too:

Sorry for the late reply.

I meant what is provided at https://github.com/antirez/linenoise/releases, ie a proper release. This does not apply exclusively to what I worked in back then (Guix) but also every other package manager when they provide linenoise as a separate package. Getting github releases explained to me wasn't what I was looking for, but rather if linenoise as a project will consider making a new release.
Projects bundle certain commits, but if linenoise would make releases more regularly or at least put a stamp of "this is stable" (tarball, tag) on some commits, it would be more in line of what I asked for back then (and still today, for another project). If @antirez decides it will take longer, that would be okay as well.

Hi,
I would also appreciate a new "official" release as requested by @ng-0 .
I work for a company and can't just integrate some random git revision of a software.
Thank you for your attention.
