Why are apps like Fairemail, Voyager, etc. updated so often? Why don’t they collect the changes and release them once a month or something like that?

It’s interesting that every time I open Voyager I see an update warnin at the bottom. Is that really required?

    “usually” is very generous. Automated testing takes effort to develop and maintain, a lot more than the rest of the CICD pipeline combined. And it’s only one piece of a complete qa strategy, if it’s all you have you’re still using users as testers.
