To release a new version:

• Build the action distribution (make build or npm run build).
• Commit and push changes (including dist directory changes - this is important) to the master|main branch.
• Publish the new release using the repo releases page (the git tag should follow the vX.Y.Z format).

Major and minor git tags (v1 and v1.2 if you publish a v1.2.Z release) will be updated automatically.

If you find any errors in the action, please create an issue in this repository.
