notes

I haven't tested the linux & macos build.
The mac (intel, arm seems corrupted) version will ask you for permission. You may need to do xattr -cr /Applications/SuperSlicer.app.
For Windows automatic installer/updates: https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/superslicer . Note that it has some days of delay, for the validation process. (I'll try to add superslicer also into winget)
You can have daily builds in the action menu of github.
