Publish Firebird 6 in GitHub Releases?

[F. D. Castel]

According to the Roadmap (https://www.firebirdsql.org/en/roadmap), several features are already available for users to test (and provide feedback on).

Could we get a "pre-release" build of v6 on https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/releases ?

Or is there a showstopper preventing this?

You can always download the latest snapshot build if you want to test
before a formal alpha build:
https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/snapshots/releases/tag/snapshot-master

We're waiting on finishing some things before alpha-1, and release notes
need to be written.

Great! 

Thanks for the update, Mark!

My intention was to publish a -pre package on Chocolatey, so I’ll wait for a more formal release.
