I don't know if we have anywhere to place a release

<div> GitHub has a <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/blog/1547-release-your-software">releases
system</a> that is backed by Git tags - they allow you
to attach a binary that is made available to the public.
Perhaps that's the best way to host a tarball?<br>

fwiw. Small thing but I was using this technique for some embedded
work with Yocto and ran into trouble. The release archives can be
recreated behind the scenes which means that checksums can (and do)
change intermittently.<br>
<br>
This might not be relevant for BEEBS releases, but if you care about
ensuring that any given release archive never changes then the
alternative is to take an additional step of uploading the archive
to GitHub yourself, in which case the site won't make any changes to
that file.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<div>As an aside - if anyone knows how to fix #26, we
probably want to patch that up before it's included in a
release.<br>
