1667 :: A small request for the next Nim release

  Please, when the next version of Nim is released, could a corresponding release of nimsuggest also be generated on GitHub? It would make it a lot easier for those of us where the nim package on our OS distro (Arch Linux for me) doesn't include nimsuggest.

  Doesn't nimble install nimsuggest downloads the newest release? I just installed it like this yesterday and got a compiler-0.11.3 installed by it.

  nimble installed v0.11.3 of the nim compiler as well as nimsuggest?

  The version of nim on the download page is 0.11.2 ("latest stable"?), which is also the version that Arch has in its nim package. AFAICT there is no release of nimsuggest for nim v0.11.2 or any other nim release - the GitHub repository only has #HEAD.

  What I'm requesting is that the GitHub repository for nimsuggest have releases corresponding to the nim repository releases. That way, for those of us whose OS package system supplies a non-HEAD version of nim, we can install the correct version of nimsuggest to go with it.
