- Line 50: Change the moving "releases/latest" link to a version-locked URL and
make the step atomic: update the sentence in the step that currently references
"version v6.1.2" and the `releases/latest` URL so it points to the exact release
tag URL for v6.1.2 (or remove the hardcoded version and state "select the
release matching your version" with a link to the specific release tag), and
split the action into two numbered steps—one to navigate to the exact release
page (using the exact tag URL) and a separate step to download the appropriate
32-bit or 64-bit installer—so the step is deterministic and verifiable.

properly formatted entry that includes the actual release date and no extra
space inside the emphasis markers, e.g. "**v6.1.2, released 2024-12-01**" (use
the correct release date), so the emphasis is valid and markdownlint MD037 is
