Releases is preferably served out of the github project directly:
https://github.com/libdivecomputer/libdivecomputer/releases

Pre built binaries can be served the same way, both continuous builds
and release builds.


It would quite simple to generate the doc html to, and just
automatically check that into a git branch and push it out. I don't
think they change often enough that it matters.
