new "nightly" builds available

[Dirk Hohndel]

The project hasn't made a release in quite a while - but a lot of people are looking for more current version of the code (including newer versions of libdivecomputer, for example). Over the past week I have re-enabled the builds on every push/merge into the main branch of Subsurface. Fedora Copr and Ubuntu Launchpad get new daily/test builds in the designated repos for those OSs. Windows, macOS, and Android builds are made available as releases under https://github.com/subsurface/nightly-builds/releases

The naming scheme is simple, date and a monotonic number to deal with multiple builds on the same day.

Please note that none of these artifacts are signed.

The Android APK can be side-loaded on most Android devices. If you had a previous Subsurface-mobile version installed from the Google Play store, you'll have to uninstall that first. And yes, this works with Android 14 devices and also works for new users.

The Windows installer will ask you to confirm installation of an app from an unknown developer.

The macOS DMG makes it even harder with a multi-step dance that requires opening the Privacy & Security settings in the System Preferences and explicitly confirming that you are willing to install this app.

As always, the developers would love to hear about issues and concerns around those builds.
