Hi Waldek,

GitHub allows me to modify the release page to add new binaries.

A few questions:

http://fricas.sourceforge.net/doc/INSTALL-bin.txt stills mentions 1.3.7.
Shall we put that file into git as well?  Some other parts need
updating as well.

I update this at each release.  Keeping it in version control is
almost no gain.  ATM I am waiting for all binaries, this is
part that changes for each release.  And of course, we need some
info about how to install new binaries.

Basically I want to officially announce release once all binaries
and documents are in place (I do not want to change Notes-1.3.8.txt
after release as this may cause confusion, and Notes-1.3.8.txt
contains names of binaries).

I have uploaded macOS/windows binaries.  And I add a few sentences
at the end of the release page.  Feel free to add them to
INSTALL-bin.txt.

Now the tag name and branch name is the same.  It is a little
inconvenient to checkout them.  Can you rename the branch name
to something else?

Tag is pure Github nonsense, apparently it does not allow
making relase without a tag.  IMO, to minimize confusion it
is best to keep them the same. Concerning checkout IIUC
canonical procedure is:

git clone
git checkout

and it seems to work fine.  What problem do you see?


Tag and branch are the same name, you will get
    warning: refname '1.3.8' is ambiguous.
And when you do checkout, it defaults to tag instead of branch.
