Releasing

Tag the repository on master with a pre-release number: v2.x.y-rc.z. A GitHub Action workflow will build a "pre-release" release and attach the artifacts.

When it's time to release a new version, update the following files with the new build version:

• src/install/releases.txt
• src/installx64/releases.txt
• src/mobius/AboutDialog.cpp
• src/mobius/install/text/README.txt

Tag the repository on master with the release number: v2.x.y. A GitHub Action workflow will build the release and attach the artifacts.

Manually update the Release description in GitHub with the release notes.
