Automated builds are the way to go. We're revamping our release process to avoid stale-binary syndrome. If you don't follow us on Gitter, where you'll see active chat every day, you can look at https://progress.red-lang.org/ to see what's been done. Or just look at github graphs of commits.
We absolutely lost some focus with the blockchain aspect, and are rolling with all the punches as best we can. Sustainability is key, so we're also working on commercial products to that end. Got our first one out last year, and the next one is in the planning stages.
Our first product is https://www.redlake-tech.com/products/diagrammar-for-windows..., and all features are enabled for free. The only limitation is that exported images are watermarked. We also sponsor licenses for other FOSS projects.
