Hi folks,

Git has tags and branches and a bunch of features to stop issues like this
from happening.

One easy way I think we can stop this from ever happening again:  instead
of always running off the newest commits to master, the github plugin could
use a tag or a commit, and then when folks decide to update, we can parse
and tell them what libraries changed and how, through metadata and commit
messages, and they can choose when to update.

This would stop changes in footprints from breaking users' boards due to
static library files.

Thoughts?
