Notepad++ leaves SourceForge

I have always thought this is something Github could capture on. GitHub is missing download of Compiled Binary, and some forum for user ( not developers ) interaction.

But then Github has always been a Dev focus site.

How will Notepad++ handle the delivery?

GitHub does handle binaries, available through the "releases" link on the repo navigation bar. Developers can relate releases to tags and upload binaries.

You can also potentially wire this up to CI services, to automatically build and deploy a release binary for every new commit on a given branch.

Some popular GitHub CI integrators already do this:

They serve directly from their site now: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.7.9.html

You can create releases from tags and upload artifacts for every release.

GitHub have had a download tab for compiled binaries years ago.

Github does have "releases" that allow you to attach binaries
