April 30th AppImages are now available with the binary only updated with X264 r3106 stable mods.
But, I have a problem with being able to update the GIT repository on the server due to some error I made which I am now working on.
FINALLY, I fixed my local GIT working directory. It took a long time because I had to do a lot of reading to understand some parts of GIT in order to not make things worse.
GITHUB switch is being contemplated and I was working on this in April before the release so maybe I impacted my local working directory somehow. Or there was a failure in the SSD 2TB NVMe internal Solid State Drive -- which I personally think is more likely.
I will remove previous library versions of X264, flac, libjpeg-turbo, libvpx and tiff sometime in the next couple of weeks to reduce size of thirdparty/src.
