release a binary on github

[m040601]

This is such a great addon to the (great) mdbook.
Thank you for your work.
Would it be possible to release it as a binary ? At least compiled for x86_64.
It would make it much easier to release this as a precompiled package for arch linux and other distros. It would make much easier for people who dont have the entire rust distribution to quickly try it out.

See issue #34 and in particular the point "Publish pre-compiled binaries for Windows/Linux/Mac using GitHub Releases"

I have a plan to do that, but I don't have an ETA.

@Michael-F-Bryan
It seems I need your help to properly configure (security settings??) for GH release action script (yaml).
I was able to create binary release artifacts in my own forked repo using 'Release yaml' action.

As I see there is no way to do the same in root repo. Probably it misses some security settings? Can you look and try to tweak them ? Here are some screens attached.

I don't see the 'release' event in current repo, so probably it's not handled now.

There is one more setting I checked in my fork repo.

I tried to run Release in current repo, but release.yaml was not handled (as that happens in mu repo).

@Michael-F-Bryan I'm still looking for your assistance please.

maybe this can be alternative method, https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact , I could make a PR.

maybe this can be alternative method,

There is a lack of GH security permissions, not a method.
I suppose @Michael-F-Bryan will not grant them because such permissions are related to his own repos.

[Michael-F-Bryan]

@blandger, I can transfer the repo to you if you want. That should unlock a lot of things for you.

@Michael-F-Bryan that would be good, pls
