Builds xmllint for linux-x86-64, linux-aarch64, darwin-aarch64, and
windows-x86-64 on each v* tag and uploads the binaries as GitHub release
assets. Asset naming follows the xmllint_{os}-{arch} convention so
package managers (e.g. mise's github: backend) can pick up the right
binary automatically.

Thanks for the contribution, @zeitlinger! This is a nicely scoped change — clean matrix, sensible action choices, and the mise motivation makes a lot of sense. Merging now. I've opened a follow-up issue tracking some non-blocking improvements (macOS x86_64 coverage, tag/version consistency check, binary stripping, checksums, SHA-pinning third-party actions): see the issue linked from this PR. Happy to take more PRs if any of those interest you. |

Bump to 0.4.2 and apply the hardened release workflow that was committed as .github/release.yml.pending in PR #7 but couldn't be moved into .github/workflows/ from a token without the workflow scope. Release changes since 0.4.1: - serial: eliminate implicit xml namespace for exclusive c14n (#5) - ci: release workflow with per-platform xmllint binaries (#4, #7) - release profile: strip = true for smaller binaries - dependabot: weekly github-actions updates

Summary
.github/workflows/release.ymltriggered onv*tagsxmllint(the CLI binary, gated on--features cli) for four targets:linux-x86-64,linux-aarch64,darwin-aarch64,windows-x86-64crossfor cross-compilation; other targets build nativelyxmllint_{os}-{arch}(e.g.xmllint_linux-x86-64,xmllint_windows-x86-64.exe)Motivation
Without pre-built binaries, package managers that support the
github:backend (e.g. mise) must fall back to compiling from source viacargo install, which takes several minutes per machine. Binary releases makemise installnear-instant.The asset naming convention (
{binary}_{os}-{arch}) matches what mise'sgithub:backend auto-discovers, so no extra configuration is needed on the consumer side.Notes
