All the releases will be tagged for download with release notes.

Notes on bug fix releases
GitNex has the main branch as a tip branch and has version branches such as release-1.0. release-1.0 is a release branch and will be tagged as 1.0.0. If 1.0.0 has bugs, pull requests will be merged to release-1.0 branch and publish a 1.0.1 tag, with a fast forward merge to main too.
