## Improvements

## Fixes

This file is used by GoReleaser as the GitHub Release body.

Update the version string in pkg/util/version/version.go:

var version = "0.X.0"

Commit and push to dev:

bash

git add pkg/util/version/version.go Release.md
git commit -m "bump version to vX.Y.Z"
git push origin dev

Create a PR from dev to master:

bash

gh pr create --base master --head dev --title "bump version"

Wait for CI to pass, then merge using merge commit (not squash).

bash

git checkout master
git pull origin master
git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "bump version"
git push origin vX.Y.Z

Manually trigger the goreleaser workflow in GitHub Actions:

bash

gh workflow run goreleaser --ref master
