Hi, I am the developer of PdfDing. One thing I am not sure about is the frequency of my releases. What do you folks prefer in self-hosted projects? More releases in order to get new features as fast as possible or fewer releases with bigger feature additions?

Security and bugfixes, after one or two rounds of testing by early adopters/key users. Preferably through some form of automatic updates.

New features and breaking changes, or anything that requires the end-user to pay attention, I'd say no more than 4 times a year, and using a non-automatic form of update. The hard thing is getting the user's attention on the changes, and not just clicking next and then having a broken or insecure installation.
