Re: [Audacity-devel] Publishing releases

[Steve t. F. <ste...@gm...>]

I'm not sure exactly what "creating a release" means in the GitHub sense,
other than what it says in the GitHub documentation:
https://help.github.com/articles/creating-releases/
It seems to just be a feature for linking and labelling specific tags, with
an option to attach binaries.

Currently, if you go to the "releases" page of our GitHub account (
https://github.com/audacity/audacity/releases) it says that Audacity 2.1.3
is the latest release, which is misleading.
