The nightly builds published on
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/releases/tag/nightly are from Apr 22, but the
latest build is https://github.com/dlang/dmd/actions/runs/9441078142 from Jun

The GitHub Action run page also shows some warnings:

Build nightly from master / Build documentation for all repos
The `set-output` command is deprecated and will be disabled soon. Please
upgrade to using Environment Files. For more information see:
https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-11-github-actions-deprecating-save-state-and-set-output-commands/

Publish artifacts on the release page
Node.js 16 actions are deprecated. Please update the following actions to use
Node.js 20: actions/download-artifact at v3. For more information see:
https://github.blog/changelog/2023-09-22-github-actions-transitioning-from-node-16-to-node-20/.

Maybe the problem was caused by
https://github.com/dlang/installer/commit/a8422151226d92f22fc2b83ae3713005bbf22f20,
because the artifact name was changed from dmd-release to dmd-release-${{
matrix.os }}. This was necessary, because version 4 of actions/upload-artifact
needs unique names. The download job in
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/blob/master/.github/workflows/nightlies.yml still
uses version 3 und the old name.
