Summary

  • Deletes prerelease.yml — the rolling dev build on every push to main
  • release.yml already handles alpha/beta: any v* tag with a hyphen is automatically marked as a pre-release
  • Updates README with verified-release workflow (always tag after PR merge on GitHub)
  • Deleted the dev release and tag from GitHub

Why

Rolling dev builds are redundant when explicit versioned pre-releases exist. They clutter the releases page and give testers no useful version signal.

Summary by Sourcery

Document and enforce an explicit tag-based release and pre-release process while removing the unused rolling prerelease workflow.

CI:

  • Remove the prerelease GitHub Actions workflow in favor of the existing tag-driven release workflow.

Documentation:

  • Update README to describe tagging merged main commits for verified stable and pre-release builds, and clarify how tags trigger the release workflow.

… tags

The dev rolling release is redundant now that release.yml automatically
marks hyphenated tags (e.g. -alpha, -beta) as pre-releases. Explicit
versioned pre-releases are clearer for testers and reduce releases page
noise. Also updates README with verified-release tagging instructions.

Reviewer's Guide

Removes the rolling dev prerelease workflow in favor of explicit, tagged alpha/beta prereleases, and updates the README to describe the new, verified release and prerelease tagging process that drives the existing release workflow.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Document a GitHub-verified release and prerelease tagging workflow using versioned tags on merged commits.
  • Replaces generic local tagging instructions with a workflow that checks out and pulls main after merging on GitHub.
  • Shows explicit examples for stable release tags (e.g., v1.0.0) and pre-release tags (e.g., v1.0.0-alpha) and how to push them.
  • Explains that any v* tag triggers the existing release workflow and that tags containing a hyphen are automatically marked as pre-releases.
README.md
Remove the rolling dev prerelease GitHub Actions workflow in favor of tagged prereleases handled by the existing release workflow.
  • Deletes the .github/workflows/prerelease.yml workflow file so pushes to main no longer create an automatic dev prerelease build.
  • Relies on .github/workflows/release.yml (unchanged in this diff) to handle both stable and pre-release builds triggered by version tags.
  • Aligns the CI configuration with the documented alpha/beta tagging strategy and the manual deletion of the old dev release/tag in GitHub.
