Yes and no. When creating a git tag (and pushing it to GitHub) it shows up as a GitHub release. But, you can add additional binaries and a change log that goes „beyond Git artifacts“ [1]. Just wanted to mention though I still prefer that option …

This GoogleCodeWiki hack seems a little bit too hacky to me but we could simply provide downloads directly from music-encoding.org as well. There are currently four files in the downloads section from GoogleCode — that should be manageable?! As I understand the "Change to Google Code Download Service“ it only affects this downloads section, not the repository.

Best
