I would like to support this request, would love to see just a simple .dll and .vst3 files to be able to copy/paste them into a vst directory of the DAW.

This could be possible now that Steinberg has dual licenced the VST SDK under GPLv3 http://www.steinberg.net/sdklicenses_vst3

I'll looking into shipping a zip file instead.. @dal00 Unfortunately they've only GPL'd the VST3 files. For some reason they left the VST2 files with no GPL..

I guess VST3 would be nice if doable. Not sure if that's a a lot of work though?

Sigh, I need to figure out a better way to ship builds. I'm already shipping over a dozen different installers and adding a bunch of zips the mix gets complicated.

On the VST3 front though, it actually turns out that you can generate VST2 builds with the VST3 SDK so i'm shipping vst files now.

@mytyel have you considered letting Travis build the packages for you? Then you could have it build the Linux & Mac packages, you could get AppVeyor to build Windows packages.

You could have those builds that deploy the packages only happen on a tag or release and then all of the latest binaries could be deployed to GitHub and attached to the release.

I've thought about it. I have Launchpad building Linux packages for me but for Mac/Windows I can't because building AAX plugins requires a $&#!*% iLok dongle and I don't think I can do that remotely.

I could do this at least for the VST/LV2/AU/standalone builds though and have it publish. Maybe I'll do that..
