Feature description

I think, for clarity sake, it would be better if releases were used like in other typical projects, i.e., as a bundle of multiple improvements and bugfixes (e.g., once per month/week), not like right now, almost daily with the usual single small bugfixes or changes.

As it is right now, it polutes observed project changes on the GitHub main page. It also forces constant updates on F-Droid, making everybody with automated updates prone to new bugs or rapid changes of settings. And if somebody wants to stay completely up to date with the GitHub version, they can still pull the newest version from the repo so nobody loses anything.

Hello I'm glad that you liked software that may be out of date by a month but as an arch Linux user I rather like my software to have big fixes as soon as a bug is fixed and not have to 7 to 30 days just due to the fact that a bug was found and fixed the day after a release. I'm pretty sure but I could be wrong but fdroid does also allow you to disable auto updates on an app to app basis too not just all or nothing.
