Installing .NET 5.0.4 fails

[ronaldbosma]

Installing .NET 5.0.4 fails with the error: No latest release found.

The task uses this releases.json file to select the latest .NET version. The latest-release and latest-release-date fields in this JSON are used to select the correct release.

As you can see in the JSON snippet below. The date format of latest-release-date differs from the release-date of version 5.0.4. So the task can't select the latest version.

{
  "channel-version": "5.0",
  "latest-release": "5.0.4",
  "latest-release-date": "2021-03-09",
