Last release was in sept 2022 so when is the next official release coming not "nightly". ?
No time estimate possible. I wish it would have happend a few months ago, but I didn't have free time available.
Nightlies were, are and will be at least 90% of the time better (less buggy and more stable) than releases because very few users test nightlies and instead wait for releases, ensuring that glaring bugs make it into releases. The only benefit of release builds is the availability of published checksums.
