For Windows, it's a matter of including *.dll files and for Linux it could be an AppImage. + +Sorry but I don't agree. + +Dillo should be distributed via a package manager, the same you would install any other dependency. On MacOS you have Homebrew and on Windows you can add it to a Cygwin recipe. If you want to help, adopt it as a maintaner in any system you like. This way security fixes are propagated quickly without involving us and ABI change rebuilds are managed by the package maintainers. + +In the case of a user that wants to try something that is not available as a package yet, I consider the entry point of downloading the source and executing the few commands to build and install Dillo an acceptable threshold. + +Shiping TLS code in a AppImage bundle that never gets updates is a no-go.
