installation of v13.0.0-alpha.1 about tokei HOT 7 OPEN

Will the next release have prebuilt binaries again? This is relevant to me because the current release breaks our automated workflow for provisioning disposable dev environments. Thank you very much!

Thank you for your issue! I'm not sure if the next release will, the hope is that it will, and they will be back before v13.0.0 is released, I'm moving the project to newer release infrastructure that makes it easier to have more frequent releases, and unfortunately that didn't work with the old stuff, so the hope is that it's fixed and the next release will have it, and that I'll try to fix it for the release after that if not.

Well, nobody is paying me to maintain the integrity of their pipeline, so that is out of scope for the project.

I agree, but the suggestion seems valid to me, and it is also very easy to do. you simply go to releases and add the prerelease tag.

wonderful, good to know, thank you!

Categorizing alpha releases as pre-releases would prevent interference with automated pipelines. Tagging them appropriately ensures they don't disrupt automated workflows, maintaining pipeline integrity while allowing necessary testing during the alpha stage.

Well, if you want stability in an automated pipeline, I would recommend pinning to a specific version and manually upgrading, as even if those builds were distributed, there could be breaking changes that break your workflows.

I respect your suggestion to pin specific versions for stability. However, categorizing alpha releases as pre-releases is a common practice to maintain pipeline integrity during testing phases.
