AppImage is a popular format for software bundling. I'm able to generated C::B AppImage with minimal host dependency via github action.

I think it is a good idea to distribute our releases in AppImage format also, as it can be used on many distros.

There are additional configuration options required - to use bundled software if present and to use static wxwidgets. Those are added to svn.

indeed a very good idea. Let's see if we can also do it for the nightly builds.
