release: drop "-beta" suffix from 3.0.0 references - #525
Merged
Conversation
Following PR amule-project#521's review discussion (see comments thread), dropping the `-beta` suffix and shipping as plain `3.0.0`, with `3.0.x` for follow-up fixes. Vollstrecker's argument carried the day: distros tend to ignore betas, so a beta cycle would route most testing through users following git directly, which is the same pool that's been involved across the development cycle anyway. Plain `3.0.0` reaches the wider distro packagers immediately; issues found post-release become `3.0.1` etc. Three trivial edits, one mechanical theme: - `docs/CHANGELOG.md`: "Version 3.0.0-beta" → "Version 3.0.0" in the entry header; drop the "published as a beta to gather wider testing before declaring stable" sentence from the lead paragraph; rename the "Known Limitations (3.0.0-beta)" section header to plain "Known Limitations" and rework its lead from "This release is published as **beta**..." to a plain "Known caveats users should be aware of for this release:". The bullet points themselves (macOS notarization, Flathub, AppImage launcher, libayatana-appindicator deprecation) stay — they're real limitations regardless of beta classification. - `.github/workflows/packaging.yml`: two illustrative comments in the post-build smoke-test step previously read "aMuleD 3.0.0-beta ..." as their tagged-release example; updated to "aMuleD 3.0.0 ...". The grep pattern (`'^aMuleD '`) accepts any tagged release shape unchanged; this is comment-only.
