Details of Changes

scripts/update-version.sh

A new executable script, scripts/update-version.sh, has been added to facilitate automated version updates. This script accepts the following arguments:

• If no argument is provided, it defaults to updating the patch version.
• If major, minor, or patch is provided, it updates the respective version accordingly.
• Alternatively, it accepts version numbers in the format x, x.x, or x.x.x (e.g., 1, 1.1, 1.0.1).

GitHub Workflow Changes

The .github/workflows/release.yml workflow has been updated to leverage the new version update script. Notable changes include:

• Integration of the update-version step to execute the script and obtain the updated version.
• Modification of steps to ensure the correct version is utilized throughout the workflow.
• For the first run of the workflow, it is recommended to set a fixed version, as the initial version is currently 0.0.0. This can be achieved by utilizing the workflow input (e.g. 0.0.29, or 0.1.0).
