Git is for collaboration and developers. This trend to use it for end user distribution isn't sensible.

Nor do I want an application that is ever changing. Sensible, tested, staged releases. Mozilla, Microsoft, Google etc have lost the plot on software development, treating ordinary users like an inhouse test group!
Lol, what?. WHAT? what-what-what?

KOReader builds are hosted on official repo http://build.koreader.rocks/download/stable/ and http://build.koreader.rocks/download/nightly/. If you carefully check the signatures they should match with github releases because they're the same build.

KOReader software does not change unless you choose to install an update (like any other application on the Play Store), but you (or anyone else) can check that we're not logging sensible information and/or compromising you in any other way beyond random bugs (like any other software).

Are you aware that all release builds in android are signed with a private key and when signatures don't match Android will refuse to install the update?

Could you please explain why the "trend to use Github to host releases isn't sensible" ¿?

And yes, KOReader is a rolling-release software relying on user feedback for most improvements and bug reports (see https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues), since people commiting work don't have all devices supported by the software and/or don't use all features that the software has.
