Making a Release

Releases are created by pushing a version tag. This triggers a GitHub Actions workflow that cross-compiles Windows x64 binaries and publishes them as a release asset.

Steps

1. Make sure the master branch is in a releasable state — all changes committed and pushed.

2. Create and push a version tag:

git tag v1.2.3
git push origin v1.2.3

What happens automatically

Pushing the tag triggers the workflow defined in .github/workflows/release.yml:

  1. Checks out the tagged commit
  2. Installs the MinGW-w64 cross-compiler on an Ubuntu runner
  3. Builds dymon_pbm.exe, dymon_srv.exe, and txt2pbm.exe for Windows x64
  4. Strips the binaries to reduce size
  5. Packages them into dymon-windows-x64.zip
  6. Creates a GitHub release for the tag and attaches the zip as a download asset

The release is visible under the Releases section of the GitHub repository.
