Add a compiled SmartPutty.jar to repository

Open crisistotal2014 opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Hi Eric: What do you think about adding a compiled SmartPutty.jar to your repository folder?

This is due many people doesn't have Gradle or JDK installed, and this can be a fast way to these people to check your great program.

P.D.: Perhaps an "SmartPutty.exe" will be faster and easy to use this program.

Frankly speaking your idea is good, however several years ago , I built a release to github, it is a one click runner with bat + jar. But recently I found that release tab get missing. May need to explorer another way to do release, however checkin binary into repository is not a good idea, if you are aware, my git report is pretty huge(abnormal) due to at early stage I embedded jdk inside the repo, even now I deleted it, the repo is still large.

YES! Exactly this I've missed: quick links to download your program (today in 32 and 64 bits version, obviously). I suppose GitHub continues allowing to individual upload files to repository to download in cases likes this, no?
