Release Instructions

A new release has two parts: git tags, and a GitHub release. Look at the current tags to determine what the next version should be. In the instructions below, replace v1 with vN where N is the major version of the new release if it's not 1.

1. git checkout main && git pull origin main
2. git tag v<new-version-number> && git push origin v<new-version-number>
3. Push the tag while you're on the main branch
4. git tag -d v1 && git push origin :refs/tags/v1
5. git tag v1 && git push origin v1
