can we stop putting installer binaries in the repos directly?

[divinity76]

keep doing this makes the repo very big when you clone the entire history over several years; since git forgets nothing, it remembers every single version of the installer, and makes the repository history much bigger. thus i suggest we stop putting the installer binaries in the repo itself, and make "github releases" instead, which are NOT stored in the git history (it is stored on github.com servers only), see how to do that here - https://help.github.com/articles/creating-releases/

just noticed that today, after not playing tibia for quite a while, decided to try again; cloned blackd proxy sources, and it took a while to download, i bet most of it is those installers.

Sorry, I didn’t know GitHub forces to download all old installers.

I was uploading installers because it saves some bandwidth at my server.

Anyways I only need to do a direct link to the latest installer file from my download section). It is possible to do keep doing that with the “releases”?
