 The release process
 ===
 
-Once a release is ready, all you have to do is create a GitHub Release and tag. Once that release is created it will kick off the `.github/workflows/build.yml` GitHub Action. This workflow will do all the work for you to get a new release out. It will create an updated manifest.json file with the new version from the tag that you ceated with the release. It will also create the firmware.bin file following the format of homekit-ratgdo-${{ latest-tag }}.bin"

+Releases tag should be named v[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9], example: `v0.7.0`. the workflows are designed to follows this pattern, if this pattern isn't followed then the workflow will stop.
