Hi!

Thank you for the great work you're doing with uSDXOpen.

I’d like to propose a small enhancement to help more users adopt the project easily:

Suggestion:

Add formal GitHub Releases with pre-compiled firmware builds (HEX files), plus a small changelog.

Why I think this would help?

Many users who build uSDX radios probably aren’t comfortable compiling firmware themselves. Pre-compiled binaries make upgrades predictable and reduce the risk of build mistakes.

A release page with notes helps users understand what changed, what’s fixed, and which hardware variants are supported.

Tagging releases also helps developers track regressions and keeps forks in sync.

What could be included:

A new tagged release (e.g. v1.0.0 or similar).

Pre-compiled .hex files for each supported hardware variant.

A simple CHANGELOG.md or release notes summarizing:

New features

Bug fixes

Known issues

Hardware compatibility notes

Optional additions

A brief “Build Instructions” section in the README (or a separate file), so advanced users can compile from source confidently.

Automated build scripts or GitHub Actions later on?

Thanks again for all the work you’ve put into uSDXOpen — it’s a great project!

Chris
