An incomplete list of terrible
- There is no automation of changelog extraction from
README.md
- There is no automated testing of package output
- The scripts for release, build and package need improving
- The scripts should use cross-platform language where appropriate (CMake?)
- The build requires you to install 578 versions of VS and MinGW
- There is no automation of website or live updates
- The forum, RSS and GH announcement texts are barebones and dry
- There is no process for list of contributor credits for a release (including bug reporters)
