Thanks! I didn't notice that we can upload tarballs binding to a release
like that. Now you should be able to find the release tarballs on the
releases page.

BTW, does github support counting the number of downloads for these
tarballs?

We will from everything away from Google Code eventually. We haven't
decided where to put future release packages yet but as it seems github

for all downloads.
