Post builds as files to Downloads instead of committing huge blobs to the repo

[indirect]

Github provides hosting for builds and binaries in the Downloads tab. If you put all the .zip files there, it will be millions of times* faster to check out the main git repo.

*possibly a small exaggeration

Thanks. That's the plan. We loaded everything into Github in a hurry and will be moving all the builds to Downloads soon.

Great, glad to hear it. :)

FYI, the Downloads tab is going away: https://github.com/blog/1302-goodbye-uploads

Ha. Well it's a good thing we decided to host our own binaries. If you go to blink1.thingm.com, they all point to the blink1 downloads directory on thingm.com

Yup, all builds are now being posted in http://thingm.com/blink1/downloads/

@todbot: http://thingm.com/blink1/downloads/ does not have a build for 0.9.6 on Windows yet. I assume this is being done manually at the moment? Would greatly appreciate automatic builds (or at least regular builds).

New version just released! Can read about it here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thingm/blink1-the-usb-rgb-led/posts/394656

Excellent. Excited for 0.9.7 👍
