Provide version independent URL to latest phar

[fbatschi]

Currently there seems to be no version independent URL for the latest phar release. You have to go to "releases" and select the latest version and receive something like https://github.com/Mayflower/PHP_CodeBrowser/releases/download/1.1.1/phpcb-1.1.1.phar

Other tools like phpunit provide a unique URL which always points to the latest release, like
https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit.phar

This would give the possibility in certain scenarios (that do not use composer) to receive the latest phar release of PHP CodeBrowser.

any news on this?

Unfortunately we are restricted to what github is capable of. That is, one is able to be redirected to the latest release by requesting https://github.com/mayflower/PHP_CodeBrowser/releases/latest but this url cannot be extended to fetch an attached binary.
The phpunit pharchive is selfhosted and not distributed by github.
