Too many releases

[mo8it]

I have cargo install-update -a in my update routine and releasing after every pull request leads to recompilation. I know that I can install rumdl otherwise. But in general, the release strategy really seems to be too eager.

Hi @mo8it, thanks for raising this concern. I was used during early development to just release when bugs got fixed, and never really reconsidered. I'll try to move to a batching strategy, where bugfixes will be combined instead of just releasing at every point.

But also, there is a quick fix on your side possible too: install with cargo binstall rumdl instead of cargo install. It pulls the prebuilt binary from the GitHub release instead of compiling from source, so cargo install-update -a updates it without a recompile. Same goes for the Homebrew, PyPI, and npm packages, they also just get prebuilt binaries.
