Machine-parseable releases listings

[jasonkarns]

👋 Hi!

I maintain nodenv (a node version manager) and I'd like to add support for lowjs.

I'd like to include the binary releases as available versions for installation. To help automate making ongoing releases available, I typically scrape a "downloads" listing to generate the necessary manifest files for nodenv.

For instance, for nodejs (and chakracore), we scrape the following release listing: http://nodejs.org/dist/index.tab
For graalvm, we use the GitHub Releases API (their binary builds are published as assets with each GitHub Release)

Is there a similar listing that exists for finding current (and old) binary distributions of lowjs releases?

Hi!

Great project! As you are targeting real releases, the thing to parse is the Git release tags, directly from the Git or from the GitHub page.

On our own binaries download page I currently still use the GitHub commits. But soon this will get the
caption "Nightly builds", and above that I will add the downloads for releases.
I expect this to happen soon.

Regards

Thomas
