[Abdulkbk]

In previous stable releases, we usually have 30+ assets targeting different OSs and archs, but for 0.26.0, I can only find 2. Is this how releases will be going forward? Asking specifically because my PR to add btcd to Polar depends on linux releases.

[Abdulkbk]

Seems they're available now 👍
