Yes now the last vesion is the 5th August, there is no way to differenciate a nightly build from a release one.
We should ask the upstream author if the .self file should be named differently. already added to the wiki

I just try you brand new watch file :), here  the error message

Still no answer from him ?

I will try to build the package and gives you some feedback.

just one remark, you still install the .la and the .a files.
It would be better to remove thoses files [1] and do not distribute them.
If the build system could avoid building also the static library except the required one it would be great :)
